Ariston Washer and Dryer Fault Error Codes

Error Fault Codes on Asko Washer/Dryer AW 120 / AW 122 / AW 125 AWD 120 / AWD 121 / AWD 129

A repair fault is signaled by the continuous rotating of the Program Knob and the flashing of the Door Locked LED. The Fault Code is determined by counting the sequence of individual flashes of the LED (2 flashes = F2). The LED will flash the Fault Code sequence and then delay for approximately eight (8) seconds, repeating the Fault Code sequence and eight second delay continually.

TECH NOTE: The unit can be turned off without harm and the Fault Code sequence will repeat when power is reapplied.

Servicing Safe Guards

To avoid personal injury and/or property damage, it is important that safe servicing practices be observed at all times. Examples of safe service practices are listed below but are not limited to the following:
  1. Never attempt a product repair if you have any doubts as to your ability to complete the repair in a safe and satisfactory manner.
  2. Before servicing or removing an appliance:
    • Disconnect power to the appliance.
    • Turn off the gas / LP supply.
    • Turn off the water supply.
  3. Never interfere with the proper operation of any safety device.
  4. Use only genuine factory replacement parts as substitutions may interfere with compliances to home safety codes or standards.
  5. It is extremely important that all safety ground connections be reestablished prior to the completion of the service call. Failure to do so will result in a hazardous condition being created.
  6. Prior to returning the appliance back into active service, ensure the following:
    • All electrical connections are correct and secure.
    • Electrical leads are properly dressed and secured away from sharp edges, high temperature components and moving parts.
    • All non-insulated electrical terminals, connectors, heaters, etc. are adequately spaced away from metal parts or panels.
    • All safety grounds (both internal and external) are correctly and securely connected.
    • All access panels are properly and securely reassembled.
