The most common Ardo breakdowns and how to fix them

If the Ardo washing machine with a vertical load does not turn on or if its operation does not meet the usual standards, then most likely you had to face one of the following typical malfunctions.

The water in the drum is not heated

This trouble is quite common - both in units with vertical and in models with a horizontal principle of loading. If you study user reviews and statistical studies, then in 95% of cases this is due to a malfunction of the heating element.

After turning on, the drum does not fill with water

Such a breakdown is most often found precisely in vertical loading washing machines. There is a problem with the overlap of the water tap leading to the technique. The reason for this blocking is often a malfunction of the valve of the washing equipment. Two factors can provoke such a nuisance:

• malfunction of the control unit;
• filter contamination.

• Self-draining, as a result of which, the system throws water into the drum space, almost immediately after collection. Most often, this behavior of the equipment is observed in case of improper connection of the system to water pipes.
• The program crashes, which may indicate electronic problems or the breakdown of any parts.
