How to drain water from an Ariston washing machine?

It can be difficult to deal with extra water in your Ariston washing machine, especially if you don’t know where to begin. It’s critical to take action if you discover that your washer isn’t draining correctly in order to prevent future harm to both your machine and the floor of your laundry room.

Fortunately, it’s not as difficult as it might seem to drain water from an Ariston washing machine. You can solve the issue with a few easy steps, regardless of whether it’s a simple drainage problem or a clogged pump. Your washing machine will function more smoothly and effectively if you know how to handle this.

We’ll explore the most popular techniques for emptying the water from your Ariston washing machine in this guide. We’ll go over useful advice and methods to help you resolve this problem swiftly and simply so you can resume your laundry schedule with the least amount of difficulty.

How to drain the machine tank?

The "Drain" button will not assist if the washing machine does not "respond" to commands; you will need to take manual action. Thankfully, the manufacturer has offered different ways to empty the tank. Additionally, you have multiple options for simultaneously draining the water; you just need to determine which approach is best for your circumstances.

The drum is forced to be emptied:

• the drain hose, while the pump is not activated;
• unscrewed trash filter;
• emergency opening of the hatch door;
• disconnected drain pipe.

You must unplug the machine from the water and power supplies before forcing it to drain!

The procedure for emptying the tank is chosen based on the circumstances. In any case, the location and the washing machine itself must be ready for the process before beginning. It’s important to be aware of the subtleties of the impending drain ahead of time to avoid flooding your neighbors. Below are suggestions and guidelines for each technique.

Remove the filter, and the water will flow out

Going through the trash filter is almost a surefire way to "enter" the machine quickly and easily and to "dry" it. This plastic spiral attachment shields the pump from debris and items that may have inadvertently entered the drum. The "spiral" is situated in the lower right corner of the Ariston body, behind the service hatch.

Then, we move forward as follows:

• check that the washing machine is disconnected from all communications;
• wait until the water in the tank cools down (otherwise you can get burned);
• use a flat screwdriver to pry off the cover of the service hatch and remove it;
• find a plastic black round cover – a trash filter;
• carefully tilt the machine body to the left and place an empty container under the trash filter;
• additionally cover the surrounding space with old rags and newspapers;
• grab the protruding part of the "garbage can" lid and unscrew the filter a few turns until water flows out of the hole;

The waste filter does not need to be completely unscrewed! If you leave it in the groove, the water pressure can be changed!

• collect water in a prepared container.

One of the fastest and safest ways to drain an emergency is through the waste filter. This is the better way to empty the tank in case the machine malfunctions and stops responding to commands. This approach has the benefit of not requiring you to dismantle the washing machine or manually remove the water. But be aware that some of the dirty liquid will seep past the basin, so plan accordingly.

Drain hose

The use of a drain hose is the second technique. More specifically, because of the "siphon effect," you must bend the hose below the level of the drum to allow water to enter. The ability to separate the corrugation from the sewer pipe is crucial. In an emergency, you must do the following to drain water through the hose:

• disconnect the hose from the sewage system (free the clamp by pliers and unhook the corrugation from the pipe);
• detach the hose from the back panel of the washing machine by removing the provided plastic clamps;
• lower the corrugation below the level of the Ariston washing machine tank, placing the free end in a basin, bathtub or toilet;
• wait until the water drains out of the washing machine by gravity.

Ariston models without an internal loop or check valve are the only ones that can be drained using a hose.

Water drains easily, rapidly, and without the need for extra preparations through the main hose. There is a catch, though: not every machine can use this method. By blocking gravity flow with an internal loop or check valve, modern washing machines stop leaks from occurring on their own while being washed. Typically, we are discussing models that were introduced after 2015. Examining the user handbook will suffice to determine if an existing washing machine’s drum can be emptied through the sleeve.

Emergency "opening" of the machine

You will need to use "heavy artillery" if draining the Hotpoint Ariston using the hose and garbage filter isn’t feasible for some reason. In the latter case, the hatch door must be opened in an emergency and water must be scooped out. We only use this procedure as a last resort because it will take more time and effort.

• we estimate how much water is in the tank (if the liquid level is above the edge of the drum, then we tilt the machine back and fix it);
• we open the machine;
• we scoop out water.

Certain subtleties complicate a straightforward sequence. The first is that the door must be opened in an emergency. Ariston is locked securely during the washing process, so you won’t be able to open the hatch by pressing the handle. A rope that needs to be pushed into the space between the door and the body and pulled deeply until it makes the distinctive click can be used to get around the lock. The machine is then unlocked using the standard procedure.

The task of emptying the water from your Ariston washing machine doesn’t have to be difficult. You can manage the process quickly and prevent any mess by adhering to a few simple steps. To guarantee safety, always unplug the machine before starting. Find the drainage pump or filter, which is usually located at the machine’s front or bottom. It could be concealed behind a panel that requires opening.

As soon as you have access, put a towel or shallow tray underneath to collect any spilled water. To let the water run out into your tray, slowly unscrew the drain hose or filter. To ensure that there is no last bit of water inside, be patient and let it drain fully. To avoid clogs and guarantee future smooth operation, clean the filter after draining.

Lastly, carefully reassemble everything, making sure the hose or filter is tightened back into its original position. You can proceed by simply plugging the machine back in. Maintaining the drainage system on your washing machine ensures that it works effectively and extends its life. Do not hesitate to seek further help from a professional if you notice any problems or strange noises.

Draining your Ariston washing machine properly is essential if you’re having problems with excess water in it. This will prevent flooding and guarantee smooth operation of your machine. We’ll walk you through the easy process of emptying the water from your Ariston washing machine in this guide, which includes instructions on where to find the drain filter and how to deal with any possible blockages. You can quickly get your machine back in working order and prevent any more problems by following these simple instructions.
