Error F06 on the display of the Hotpoint-Ariston washing machine: what does it mean and how to fix it?

Each type of modern household appliances is equipped with a unique mechanism that is not durable and can fail at any time. But not all designs are ready to boast of the function of notifying their owner about the cause of the malfunction, which cannot be said about Ariston washing machines. This miracle technique has been popular in the world market for more than a dozen years. Only the problems in the old models could only be fixed by the master.

You can solve the problem in a modern design without calling a specialist. You just need to look at the instructions to understand which part of the washing machine is out of order and how to restore it. In this article, we will consider the reasons for the appearance of an error code F06 on the display.

Italian-made Hotpoint-Ariston washing machines have been receiving high marks for quality and reliability for several years. A wide assortment range allows everyone to choose the most interesting and appropriate models for individual requirements. The versatility of the washing structures is supported by additional features that harmoniously combine the super wash and gentle laundry modes.

Periodically, the error code F06 may appear on the display of the operating panel. Some, having seen such information about a technical malfunction, immediately call the master. Others try to fix the problem by unplugging and unplugging the washing machine. Still others take the instructions in their hands and carefully study the section "Error codes, their meaning and remedies."

According to the manufacturer Hotpoint-Ariston, the reported error has several code names, namely F06 and F6. For washing machines with an Arcadia control board, the display shows the code F6, which means that the door lock sensor is faulty.

The display on the display of information about the occurrence of the F06 / F6 error in the CMA (automatic washing machine) Ariston does not always indicate serious problems. That's why do not immediately call a repairman for household appliances.

After reviewing the instructions, you should try to deal with the malfunction yourself, the main thing is to determine the cause of its occurrence.

In principle, every owner of a washing machine can correct error F06, especially if the cause of the malfunction turned out to be insignificant. For example, if the door is not closed tightly, it is enough to check for foreign objects between the hatch and the body, and if something is present, carefully pull it out. To restore the contacts in the door lock device, check all connections and connect the disconnected connector.

When the keys get stuck, it is necessary to click the power button several times, and if the key connector is loosely connected to the electronic controller, you will have to disconnect the contact and re-dock.

It is much more difficult to deal with a malfunction of the electronic module and the control panel board. Surely the problem is hidden in the chain of their connections. But don't despair. You can try to solve the problem on your own.

• First of all it is necessary to unscrew the bolts located on the rear wall of the case under the top cover. They are the ones who hold the upper part of the MCA. After unscrewing, the lid must be slightly pushed back, lifted up and removed to the side. Improper dismantling can damage the housing.
• For the next step, you need to approach the SMA from the front side and carefully dismantle the powder compartment.
• From the end part of the side walls of the case there are several self-tapping screws, which also need to be unscrewed.
• Then the bolts are unscrewed, located around the compartment for filling powder.
• Then you need to carefully remove the panel... No sudden movements, otherwise the plastic mounts may burst.

After dismantling the front panel, a huge tangle of wires appears in front of your eyes. Some run from the board to a pull-out button panel, others are directed to the button for turning on the washing machine. To check the functionality, you will need to ring each contact. But the main thing is not to rush, otherwise self-repair may end with the purchase of a new AGR.

To begin with, it is proposed to study each individual posting and contact. A visual inspection of the system will reveal some problems, for example, traces of burned contacts. Next, using a multimeter, each connection is checked. Non-functioning contacts must be marked with thread or bright tape. Calling contacts - the lesson is painstaking, but does not take much time.

At the end of the test with a multimeter, the faulty contacts must be pulled out of the grooves, purchased the same new ones and installed them instead of the old ones. In order not to be mistaken with their location, you will need to take the instruction manual and study the section with internal connection diagrams.

If the work done is not successful, you will have to check the control module. Before proceeding with its analysis, the owner should carefully familiarize himself with this part of the washing machine. He must understand that it is extremely difficult to repair this part of the AGR on his own. First, a special tool is required for the repair. Regular screwdrivers and pliers will be out of place. Secondly, a mastery skill is important. People who are not associated with the repair of household appliances probably have no idea about the internal components of various devices, especially washing machines. Thirdly, in order to repair a module, it is important to have identical elements in stock that can be re-soldered.

Based on the information provided, it becomes clear that it is almost impossible to resolve the issue of fixing the module on your own. To solve the problem, you will need to call the wizard.

There were times when, instead of repairing the module, the owner of the washing machine only broke down such an important structural detail. Accordingly, only the purchase of a new electronic board could fix the problem. But even here there are a lot of important nuances. Removing the old module and installing a new one is not a problem. However, the CMA will not work if there is no software in the module.And it is not possible to make the firmware without the help of a highly qualified specialist.
