My Ariston AW120 Washing machine won't start, light keeps flashing?

Hello,
I washed clothes last night with no problem. This morning I attempted to do another but the drum won't fill with water. The light continues to flash and we can hear a very faint click occasionally, like its trying to start, but no combinations of buttons will get it to actually start.

We don't have the manual (the washer came with the house) and its only a year old, and used likely 20-30 times only.

Any idea on what could be wrong?

Ariston Household Appliances, Washing Machines Washing Start Light Hello

if You replace the unit (door interlock assembly) make sure you clip in it properly or you will get the same error.
Also access from the top not the bottom.

Simple job to do

Hello

Same here and i found the bi metal contact (thermistor assembly) in the door needs either calibration or the whole unit exchanged. Basically the resistor bit heats up the bi metal part that closes down a contact and sends a signal to the computer to open the water valve.All works on 220AC. Good luck
