In the “Spin” mode, your SM Ariston model issues an error code F11, while the system does not drain the water, and the laundry is not wrung out. This means that the drain pump does not respond to the signals from the control board.
The fault code is displayed on the display during rinsing or washing without an obvious pattern.
The manifestation of a malfunction in different models of Ariston
Ariston electronic typewriter shows error F 11 on the display. Older washers with electromechanical control will report a malfunction as follows:

How to troubleshoot at home
Next, we will tell you how to remove error 11, whatever the cause of the breakdown.
System failure (control boards)
Resetting the washing machine system will help reset the F11 Ariston error. Unplug the system for 20 minutes. Then turn it on and see the result.
Wiring violation
Inspect connections between control board and pump. If the wires have come off, put them back in place.
Drain pump failure
A washing machine with a tank filled with water hangs on various functions and displays an F11 error on the display before the “Spin” mode. The pump winding is probably damaged, it does not respond to signals. Only replacing the pump will solve the problem.
Control unit malfunction
The error code may be displayed during the “Spin” or during the drain – SM Ariston does not drain the water. As a result of power surges, the contacts could burn out, or the processor could fail.
If the reason is the wiring of the board, the pump, you will have to change the burnt wires or solder the contacts.
A processor failure requires a replacement control unit.
Pressure switch malfunction
What does it mean: the system indicates error F 11, the machine does not drain the water.
What to do: check the water level sensor hose for blockage, kink. Replace if there is a problem. In other cases, you need to change the pressure switch.
