If the Ariston dishwasher gives error code 11, then there are problems with the circulation pump. Hotpoint Ariston brand dishwashers are equipped with a control module that detects failures in the system. As soon as a breakdown occurs, a fault code is displayed on the display. The interpretation of the symbols is indicated in the instruction manual.
Let’s figure out how to fix the situation yourself.
Causes of appearance and solutions
If the PMM displays error A11 on the display, the Hotpoint Ariston system warns you about problems in the operation of the pump. The reason that the machine can show the code is the lack of power to the engine or its blocking by a foreign object. Perhaps there was a break in the winding, the wiring was damaged.
What to do? It is necessary to check everything and replace faulty parts. First of all, a system failure is excluded, when the module mistakenly displays icons on the screen. To reset the code:
- unplug the PMM plug from the socket;
- wait 10-15 minutes;
- restart.
Did the symbols A11 reappear on the display? Then you need to look for the problem.
To check the engine disassemble the car. How to troubleshoot and replace the pump:
- Open the chamber door.
- Take the baskets out of the bin.
- Unscrew the drain filter.
- Loosen the circulation block mounting bolts.
- Turn the technique on its back.
- Loosen the screws around the perimeter of the bottom cover. Take it off and set it aside.
- Examine the engine. Use a multimeter to check the winding and electronics.
- Check wiring for burnout.
- Remove the block and see if there is a foreign object stuck inside.
Did you notice a problem? Then replace the part. If it is a blockage, then it is enough to eliminate its cause and install the pump in place. Cleaning with chemicals in this case is useless. If the repair seems too complicated, then it is better to call the master.
