F08 error code Ariston: Error F 08 or F8 on the Ariston washing machine - what to do?

On an Ariston washing machine, error F08 is not that uncommon, although there are many users who have never encountered it. Error code F08 is common to both older models of Ariston washing machines and new machines. Fortunately, the developers unified the set of codes for the self-diagnosis system of these washing machines in advance, so that the same situation would not arise as on Samsung washing machines, where almost every model has its own codes, which causes confusion. In this article we will provide a breakdown of the F08 code, tell you what faults may be hidden behind it and how best to eliminate these faults.

Displaying code on machines without a display

Both old Ariston washing machines and new Hotpoint-Ariston models can be produced without a display. This, of course, reduces the cost of the machine, but makes it difficult for the user to communicate with the self-diagnosis system.

Indeed, in the absence of a display, the machine can demonstrate an error in only one way - a set of flashing and lit LEDs, which indicate the activation of a particular washing mode, spin speed, water temperature, etc.

However, not everything is as hopeless as it might seem at first glance. The display coding of Ariston washing machines is not so complicated, and if you carefully read the instructions for recognizing system errors, then everything will fall into place. So, in order, how does error F 08 appear on different lines of Ariston washing machine models?

1. A rather ancient and now rare Ariston washing machine from the Margherita line reports error F08 by flashing the on/off light eight times, at intervals of several seconds. In addition, the light bulb responsible for indicating that the hatch is locked, stylized as an image of a key or lock, must be continuously lit.
2. An Ariston AVL or AVSL series washing machine transmits error F08 using an intensely flashing door lock indicator in combination with a flashing Delay Timer indicator.
3. In newer models of Hotpoint-Ariston Low-End, ARSL, ARXL washing machines, an analogue of error F08 will be a frequently blinking LED, which is located next to the word “Spin” and light bulbs opposite the functions.
4. In the Hotpoint-Ariston Aqualtis, error F08 is the easiest to identify, since it will be indicated by just one blinking indicator indicating a temperature of fifty degrees.

How is the code deciphered?

The interpretation of error F08 on washing machines such as Ariston or Hotpoint-Ariston is very dry and uninformative. It sounds like a “heating error”. The uninitiated, after reading such a transcript, will understand absolutely nothing. It’s not clear whether the heating element of the washing machine is broken, or the temperature sensor is the problem, or maybe the wiring or even the control board is to blame.

If you try to decipher this error in an adapted language with additional explanations, and not as the manufacturer did it, the situation will become a little clearer. In particular, our experts interpret the error as follows: “... the control module of the Ariston or Hotpoint-Ariston washing machine believes that the heating element has started working, although it did not activate it. Naturally, the electronics instantly turns off the operation of the washing machine and displays error F08...”

It turns out that the main culprit of error F08 is the heating element, although often a problem arises in another part of the heating circuit - the temperature sensor, wiring, contacts. In slightly rarer cases, the control module itself is to blame, and in the rarest cases of this error, the technician associates it with the pressure switch and its circuit.

This error can appear at any time during the execution of the program, but most often the washing has not yet started, although the program has already been activated, and after 10 seconds the message F08 appears on the display and the machine freezes.

We localize and fix the problem

We will tell you how to find and fix a problem caused by error F08 using the Ariston Aquatic washing machine as an example. It is important to note that such an error is often eliminated simply by rebooting (de-energizing) the Ariston washing machine 2 or 3 times. If this doesn't help, do the following:

• We disconnect the washing machine from everything possible and take it out somewhere to a free place so that there is convenient access to the body from all sides;
• remove the back wall by unscrewing the screws that hold it in place;
• photograph the location of the wires going to the contacts of the heating element and temperature sensor;
• we remove the wires, and then, taking a multimeter, we measure the resistance of the heating element and the temperature sensor, if the device shows from 20 to 30 Ohms - everything is in order, if it shows 1 or 0, the part needs to be replaced.

If, after ringing the heating element and temperature sensor, you do not find anything unusual, no current leakage, no “sticking” of the sensor, no open circuit, then you need to carefully check the wiring. It is best to first inspect it visually and then check it with a multimeter. If the wiring is intact, then the problem is either in the control module or in the pressure switch circuit. How to check the water level sensor itself and its circuit is described in the article Checking the pressure switch of a washing machine, so we will not repeat it within the framework of this publication.

If, after checking the pressure switch circuit, you do not find any deviations, you will have to admit that the malfunction has occurred in the electronic module of the washing machine. Repairing an electronic module is not always difficult and expensive, but if you get into it yourself, it can end sadly for the entire board, and then repairing the machine will definitely cost a pretty penny. To prevent such troubles from happening, you need to put aside thoughts of independently repairing the electronics of the Ariston washing machine and entrust this matter to a professional.

Note! In approximately one case out of 100, the FPS may be the culprit for the F08 error in old Ariston machines. So before calling a technician, it would be a good idea to check this detail as well.

In conclusion, we note that an error with code F 08 most often indicates an open circuit in the heating circuit or pressure switch, but problems with the control module are also possible. So during the diagnostic process you need to be as careful as possible, and most importantly, you need to correctly assess your strengths, because not all faults can be eliminated with your own hands. Good luck!

Interpretation of error F8 (F08) on the Ariston washing machine: causes of the malfunction, solutions, Ariston washing machine error f 08 how to fix.

Ariston washing machine error codes

All error codes starting from F01 to F11 are valid for Indesit and Ariston 2000 Indesit and .

From F01 to F12 - for Indesit washing machines - the new " Evolution " series.

From F01 to F15 - for washing machines with dryers.

If your washing machine has only one indicator light (EVO-I control system), then the error code is determined by the number of flashes in one cycle after a pause. Thus, if the indicator flashes eight times, then a pause, then another 8 times, and then it means that this is the error code F08, similarly for other errors. The decoding of the codes is the same as for washing machines of other series. Indesit and Ariston .

Error interpretation

The manufacturer coded the heating error with code F8 (F08). This could indicate a faulty heating element or damaged temperature sensor or other problems.

When this error occurs, the alphanumeric character code F8 (F08) is displayed on the display. If the washing machine does not have a display, the button indicators will start flashing. The sequence of signals will differ depending on the model:

Problems that do not require repair

The contacts of the heating element have been sent

The cause of the problem may be poor electrical contact. Three wires are connected to the heating element, each of them is connected to the heating element by a connector. If at least one of the contacts becomes loose, loose or falls off, this will cause the machine to fail.

To resolve this problem, first of all, you need to disconnect the power cable from the network. Then remove the back panel of the machine, behind which the contact terminals of the heating element are located and carefully fix the loose connector. After this, replace the removed cover and check the operation of the unit.

Control board failure

To restore normal operation, sometimes it is enough to reboot the control system. It is necessary to remove the cable plug from the socket for some time (5-10 minutes). If the cause of the problem is a failure of the control module, normal operation will resume after switching on again.

High indoor humidity

Installing a washing machine in rooms with high humidity has a negative impact on many of its elements. Traces of corrosion may appear on the housing, and condensation formed on the electrical contacts will lead to operational errors.

To avoid such problems, the machine should be installed in a dry, ventilated area with adequate ventilation. Bathrooms tend to have high moisture content and are more likely to cause problems. Therefore, it is better to install the unit in other rooms, for example, in the kitchen or pantry.

Malfunctions in the heating circuit

The heating element is faulty

Problems in the heating element are a common cause of error F8 (F08). Under the influence of water and washing powder, solid deposits appear on the heating element. Trying to warm up the scale layer, the heating element is exposed to high currents and burns out. A voltage surge in the electrical network can also cause a heating element to fail.

If error F8 (F08) appears while the washing machine is operating, you can determine the malfunction by placing your palm on the loading compartment hatch. Water with a temperature above 40 degrees will heat the glass.

In order to prevent scale formation, it is recommended to clean the machine with citric acid. Removing solid deposits will help increase the service life of the heating element and prevent it from overheating. To do this, pour about half a glass of citric acid into an empty drum and turn on the spin mode. After the washing cycle is completed, the scale along with the water will go down the drain.

Thermostat (temperature sensor) is broken

The thermostat is used to regulate and maintain the set temperature. Sensor failure is determined by the following signs:

Washing machines are equipped with one of three types of thermostats, different in design, but performing the same function:

To determine the condition of the thermostat, you need to remove it and check the resistance at the contacts with a multimeter. This will require opening the machine body, and each of the three types of sensor has its own mounting features, this must be taken into account.

A faulty thermostat cannot be repaired; it must be replaced with a new one. Operating a washing machine with a broken temperature sensor will cause the heating element to burn out, so such repairs should not be delayed.

Self-diagnosis

It will not be possible to carry out diagnostics without special equipment. The minimum required equipment is a multimeter. To identify a malfunction, you must first perform the following steps:

• remove the back wall of the washing machine;
• disconnect the drive belt;
• release the heating element and temperature sensor from the wires through which voltage is supplied to them;
• carry out an inspection for signs of corrosion of these elements;
• “ring” the heating element by applying one contact of the tester to its body and the other to the contact surface, and also measure the resistance between its contacts;
• check the condition of the sensor in the same way at room temperature and immersion in hot water;
• make sure that the contact between the sensor and the heater is not broken.

If measurements showed that there is no resistance of the heating element, the cause of the error was a breakdown of the heating element.

If this parameter is normal and no signs of corrosion are found, you should check the engine for breakdown, and then remove it and evaluate the condition of the contacts.

You should not try to disassemble the control module yourself. It will not be possible to repair it without experience working with electronics. Most likely, an inexperienced user will only permanently disable it.

The surge protector, wiring or contacts are faulty

Noise filter is out of order

To protect electronic systems, an interference filter is installed in the washing machine. If there are strong voltage drops, this part may fail. If a breakdown occurs, you will have to look for a new protection device. A malfunction of the interference filter is detected by checking with a multimeter and external inspection. If burnt contacts are found or there is a burning smell, then the cause of the error is clear and replacement is required.

Damaged wiring or contacts

A common cause of malfunction is problems with the electrical wiring of the washing machine. Contacts of heating elements and electrical circuits oxidize when exposed to moisture. Damage to the internal wiring leads to a short circuit and breakdown to the machine body.

A thorough inspection of all wires and connections will help determine the problem. If an area with damaged insulation is found, it must be restored using electrical tape or heat shrink. Burnt contacts should be cleaned, and severely damaged contacts should be replaced.

Possible faults requiring repair

5883 Ariston SM products have passed through the hands of RemBytTech specialists Often error F8 is associated with current leakage (breakdown) through the heating element, interference filter (FPS) or other faulty elements onto the body of the washing machine. The table contains the most common breakdowns that cause heating error F08 on the Ariston SMA.

Faulty heating element (heating element) - from 1500 rubles.

It leaks onto the housing or has burned out (a rare situation).

Signs

The program is interrupted:

• a few seconds after the start;
• at the washing stage, and the machine does not heat the water;
• during the rinsing or spinning stage,

and the washing machine writes error F08.

How to fix

The heating element needs to be replaced.

Thermal sensor has failed - from RUB 1,400.

A breakdown through it to the housing or “does not respond” to the signal.

Signs

The program is interrupted:

• a few seconds after the start;
• at the washing stage, and the machine does not heat the water;
• during the rinsing or spinning stage,

and the washing machine writes error F08.

How to fix

It is necessary to replace the temperature sensor or heating element completely (in models where the sensor is built into the heating element).

The control board (electronic controller) has failed - from 2000 rubles.

Most often, the contact group of the heating element relay “sticks” in the on state on the control module. But sometimes other control elements of the heating element or pressure switch (resistors, diodes, capacitors, relays, etc.) fail or the firmware fails.

Signs

Ariston washing machine stops:

• immediately after starting the program;
• when switching to rinsing;
• on spin (does not spin),

and issues code F 8.

How to fix

As a rule, you can get by with repairs: you need to replace the “stuck” heating element relay and / or other burnt-out elements on the board (controller).

If the firmware fails, the board is reflashed.

If the processor burns out, then a complete replacement of the controller will be required.

Damaged wiring or contacts in the area from the heating element (heating element) or water level sensor (pressostat) to the control board - from 1600 rubles.

Signs

The washing machine freezes on washing, rinsing or spinning, and error F08 lights up.

How to fix

It is necessary to twist, solder damaged wiring and/or contacts, or replace the cable loop and/or contact group.

The water level sensor (pressostat), which controls the amount of water in the washing machine, has failed - from 1,700 rubles.

It generates simultaneous signals about an empty and full tank, or is stuck in the “Empty tank” position.

Signs

The washing machine freezes on washing, rinsing or spinning, and error F08 lights up.

How to fix

It is necessary to replace the water level sensor with a new one.

The interference filter (FPS), which protects the washing machine from interference in the electrical network, has failed - from RUB 1,500.

Signs

The Ariston washing machine issues code F 08 immediately after starting the program and does not wash.

The water level sensor is broken

This sensor (pressostat) controls the water intake, its level in the machine and is responsible for draining the liquid. Failure of the level sensor is determined by the following symptoms:

To check the serviceability of the sensor, it is necessary to turn off the power, remove the rear panel of the machine body and disconnect all fastenings of the pressure switch. After that, remove it and check the contacts with a multimeter. You should also make sure that the sensor tube is not clogged.

A faulty pressure switch will require replacement; the procedure for installing a new device will be the reverse of removal.

Control board faulty

The control board is responsible for the functioning of all electronic systems of the washing machine, engine, heating element, etc. The main reasons for the failure of the control module:

First of all, you should inspect the module. To do this, you need to remove the control panel with buttons, release the retaining latches and disconnect all electrical connectors. Repairing the control board, if it malfunctions, involves finding and replacing damaged parts. This requires certain skills and ability to handle a soldering iron.

The control board is a very expensive device, so repair work on it must be carried out by a qualified technician.

Reasons for and elimination of error F08 in the Hotpoint-Ariston washing machine

The Hotpoint-Ariston brand washing machine is a fairly reliable household appliance that can serve for many years without any serious breakdowns. The Italian brand, known throughout the world, produces its products in different price categories and with a different set of service options. Most models of new generation washing machines have automated control and an electronic display, which displays information about program processes or emergency situations in the form of a code.

Any modification of modern Hotpoint-Ariston washing machines has the same coding, which consists of an alphabetic and digital designation.

What does the error mean?

In the case when the Hotpoint-Ariston washing machine shows code F08 on its display, this means that there are malfunctions associated with the operation of the tubular heating element, called the heating element. A similar situation can manifest itself at the very beginning of work - that is, when starting the machine, approximately 10 seconds after the start. Also, the activation of the emergency code may occur in the middle or at the end of the washing process. Sometimes it appears before the rinse cycle starts or after the machine performs this function. If code F08 appears on the display, the machine usually pauses and stops washing.

The heating element in the washing machine serves to heat the cold water coming from the plumbing system into the tank to the required temperature level, according to the washing mode. Water heating can be small, only 40°C, or reach a maximum, that is, 90°C. A special temperature sensor, which works in tandem with a heating element, regulates the degree of water heating in the machine.

If the heating element or temperature sensor fails, then in this case the washing machine will immediately inform you that there is an emergency, and you will see code F08 on the display.

Ways to eliminate the code at home

Failure of electronic devices occurs for the following reasons:

• due to malfunction of the control module;
• due to high levels of humidity in the room;
• as a result of detached contacts.

When the error first appears, you need to disconnect Ariston from the network for 15 minutes and plug it back into the outlet. Such a reboot sometimes helps solve a problem that has arisen in the electronic controller.

Error F-08 is also caused by the operation of mechanisms in an area of ​​high humidity. The controller begins to produce something that is not what it should, so you need to pick up the board and inspect it. If traces of dirt or dampness are detected, the board should be wiped with alcohol using a cotton swab and dried well (a hair dryer can be used for drying). Next, the dry controller board is installed in place, the room is ventilated. This can bring the car back to life.

To detect loose contacts, the connections of the sensor that takes into account the water level and the heating element are checked. This must be done after each movement of the machine over long distances. The contacts of the main cable often come loose. To fix this, you need to put everything back in place and turn on the machine to check. If the error does not disappear, the faults remain, repair is required.

Often an error occurs when a heating element or interference filter breaks down, causing current to flow to the device body. This happens when the program is interrupted in several cases:

• a few seconds after launch;
• during washing (no water heating);
• during the spin cycle or during the rinsing process.

The cause could also be a burnt heating element.

In this case, it must be changed.

The cost of repairs including parts is 3,200-5,400 rubles.

The work is performed in the following order:

1. The car is turned towards itself with the rear wall.
2. The device is disconnected from the network.
3. Remove the back cover from it.
4. The wires are disconnected from the heating element.
5. Carefully remove the heating element.
6. Clean the tank.
7. Reinstall the heating element.
8. Connect wires to it.
9. Close the machine lid.

If the malfunction is related to the thermostat, replacing it will cost 2,400-4,900 rubles. It comes in 3 types:

• thermistor;
• bimetallic;
• gas-filled.

Check its performance using a multimeter, which measures resistance. To do this, you need to remove the cover on the machine body. To avoid burning out the heating element, replacement of a faulty part must not be delayed.

Code F-08 appears when:

• stopping the car instantly;
• turning on the “Rinse” mode
• during the spin process, which does not occur.

The cause of these malfunctions is often the failure of the electronic control unit (controller). The contacts of the heating element relay stick in it, and some diodes and capacitors burn out. Stuck contacts are changed, or the entire controller is replaced, after which the board needs to be reflashed. The flashing procedure costs up to 3,900 rubles, board repair - 3,500-8,500, replacement - from 7,500.

The machine may stop while washing, rinsing or spinning the laundry. In these cases, the causes of the failure lie in damage to the wiring going to the control board from the heating element or pressure switch. The error may appear when the pressure switch itself (sensor for monitoring the water level in the tank) fails.

A malfunction is indicated by:

• excess or lack of water in the tank;
• lack of moisture;
• failure of the “Rinse” mode.

To check the sensor, you need to turn off the power and disconnect the pressure switch mounts. The device is removed from the machine and its contacts are checked with a multimeter. Repair consists of soldering or replacing wires, which costs 1,400-2,500 rubles. To replace a burnt sensor you will have to spend 2,800-4,500 rubles.

If the Ariston machine refuses to wash immediately after turning it on, the reason for this is most often the failure of the network interference filter. Without this element, the operation of the unit is impossible; its immediate replacement is required (cost: 2,400-3,900 rubles).

Prices for work are average and can be adjusted depending on the brand of washing machine. The final cost is announced by the master after inspection.

Why did it appear?

A modern automatic washing machine (AWM) from the Hotpoint-Ariston brand has a self-diagnosis function and, in case of any malfunction that occurs, issues a special code indicating where to look for the causes of the breakdown. This function greatly simplifies the process of using the machine and its repair. The appearance of the code can only be seen when the machine is turned on; on a device not connected to the network, such a code does not appear spontaneously. Therefore, when you turn on the machine, it performs self-diagnosis for the first 10-15 seconds, and if there are any malfunctions, after this period of time information will be sent to the operating display.

Failure of the heating system in a Hotpoint-Ariston washing machine can occur for a number of reasons.

How to fix it?

Before you start diagnosing the washing machine to eliminate error code F08, you need to disconnect it from the power supply and water supply networks. If there is water left in the tank, it is drained manually. Then you need to remove the back panel of the machine body in order to have access to the heating element and temperature sensor system. The further procedure is as follows.

In order not to get confused in the correct connection of the connectors, you can take a new filter in your hand and sequentially reconnect the terminals to it from the old element.

Fixing a problem with a Hotpoint-Ariston washing machine is not that difficult. Anyone who has at least a little knowledge of electrics and knows how to hold a screwdriver can handle this task. After replacing the faulty part, the rear panel of the housing is replaced and the machine is tested. As a rule, these measures are enough for your household assistant to start working properly again.

Error F 08 - what to do, how to fix it yourself

• Control module failure. If error F08 appears for the first time, try disconnecting the machine from the power supply for 10 -15 minutes, and then turning it on again. There may be a software glitch in the control board (electronic controller), and a reboot will solve the problem.
• High humidity. If the Ariston washing machine is in conditions of high humidity, then the control board (controller) may act strange, which leads to error F8. Get to the board (it looks like a microcircuit) and carefully inspect it. If you find traces of dampness and dirt, try wiping these places with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol, and then thoroughly dry the control board with a hairdryer. In the future, move the washing machine to a drier place or at least ventilate the room to reduce humidity.
• Lost contact. Check all connections of the heating element and the water level sensor, especially if the machine has recently been transported. Perhaps the contact of the wire loop has come loose and needs to be returned to its place.

If the Hotpoint-Ariston washing machine continues to display error F 08, then, unfortunately, you cannot do without professional repairs.
