This information may be very important for users of Ariston Hotpoint Washing Machines, and in particular for the AQ7D model. In my opinion, the washing machine is a production failure. It has the disadvantage of getting small clothes, e.g. small socks, into the drainage system. I have personally pulled them out of this channel four times.
Attention if the washing machine does not drain or takes a long time to drain or F5 is displayed and the display flashes. This could mean that your washing machine is "eating" something off the drum! Don't be fooled. If the washing machine is under warranty, do not pay for the service! Follow closely what the service technician is doing. If something comes out of the clothes from the drain pipe under the washing machine - do not pay, ask for an annotation in the warranty card! Why should you pay for service dishonesty and manufacturer error. Remember F5 is a pump drain error: Check the filter, drain hose and drain siphon in the wall then calmly call service.
