Most Common Ariston Dishwasher Faults: Symptoms, Causes & What You Can Try

Clean results are a complete system: heat + spray pressure + salt and softener. Most complaints trace back to one of the three. For each fault: symptoms, causes in order, one safe step — and when a technician is needed.

Dishes coming out dirty — food or detergent residue

Symptoms

dried food residue on dishes, or unrinsed detergent film, results worse than before.

Causes

spray-arm nozzles blocked by residue, clogged bottom filters, loading that blocks the spray, water not heating enough, or an untuned salt system letting hard water weaken the detergent.

Try safely

remove the spray arms and clear the nozzles with a thin pick, wash the filters under running water, review loading. Persistent weakness despite cleanliness = heat, pump-pressure and softener check.

Water not heating — tablets half-dissolved, dishes cold

Symptoms

the tablet is found half-dissolved, dishes cold at program end, grease not cut — sometimes code AL08.

Causes

a burnt heating element or one coated in limescale (our water is hard), a failed temperature sensor, or the heater relay on the board.

Try safely

open the door carefully mid-program and feel for steam — no warmth at all usually means the element. Precise diagnosis with a meter is what the free inspection covers, and a genuine element restores first-wash results.

Not draining, or stopping mid-program (often AL03)

Symptoms

water standing in the base after the program, or the program halting with AL03 or a beep.

Causes

bottom filters clogged with food — the #1 cause, a kinked drain hose or blocked sink connection, a failed drain pump, or the level sensor.

Try safely

unplug, remove and wash the filters, check the hose for kinks, run a short test program. If it still stops = pump and sensor check, with genuine parts usually in the technician's bag.

Leak and AquaStop shutdown (AL01)

Symptoms

water under or in front of the machine, and it refuses to run showing AL01 — the AquaStop sensed leakage in its base tray and shut the water to protect your kitchen.

Causes

a worn or dirty door gasket, a seeping internal hose, pump connections, or the base tray filled from an old minor leak.

Try safely

close the tap, unplug, and dry only what's visible — and do not tilt the machine to empty the sensor and restart: the leak is still there. The technician finds the source, fixes it, then resets the AquaStop.

White film on dishes and glassware (salt system)

Symptoms

white haze on glass and dishes, rough feel, limescale spots — worsening over time.

Causes

the salt reservoir long empty, the softener set below your area's real hardness, a loose salt cap letting salt into the wash, or no rinse aid.

Try safely

fill with dedicated dishwasher salt (never table salt), top up rinse aid, run the longest hot program empty. Persistent haze = setting the softener to your area's measured hardness — we do it on every visit.

Not starting at all, or lights blinking in a pattern

Symptoms

no response at all, or lights flashing in a repeating sequence without starting.

Causes

the door lock not sensing closure (a basic run condition), socket or cable, a closed water tap triggering protection, or the control board — and that repeating blink pattern is usually a fault code on displayless models.

Try safely

close the door until it clicks, open the tap, try a direct socket. If lights blink in a fixed pattern — count the flashes and WhatsApp them with the model; it's a code that helps us diagnose before the visit.

Ariston Dishwasher AL Error-Code Table

Ariston dishwashers self-diagnose with AL codes: display models show the code directly, and displayless models blink the same code with the lights. The most common codes, their meaning, and the first safe action:

Common AL codes on Ariston dishwashers

Code	Meaning	Try safely	When it needs a technician
AL01	Leak — AquaStop triggered and shut the water	Close the tap, unplug, dry what is visible	Leak source must be found before any restart
AL02	Water fill fault	Open the tap fully; clean the inlet filter	Persistent = fill valve
AL03	Drain fault — draining exceeds normal time	Clean the filters; check the drain hose	Pump or level sensor
AL04	Temperature sensor (NTC)	Unplug for minutes and restart	Sensor and wiring check
AL05	Circulation pump or pressure switch	Clean the filters and retry	Main pump inspection
AL06	Water fill valve	Close and reopen the tap, retry	Valve or board
AL08	Water not heating in the expected time	Try a shorter program to compare	Heating element or sensor
AL09	Software error	Unplug for 10 full minutes	Board reprogram or replacement
AL10	Heater circuit or relay	Unplug and restart once	Board and heater check
AL99	Communication lost between boards	Unplug and restart	Connections and boards

Codes are indicative and can vary between generations — displayless models blink the same codes. Photograph the code or count the blinks and WhatsApp them with the model number to 01050887010 for a free initial diagnosis.

5 Technician Tips That Extend Your Dishwasher's Life

1Scrape large food remains before loading — full rinsing is unnecessary, but big bits are what clog filters and arms.
2Clean the bottom filters weekly and the spray arms monthly — the two most valuable minutes for life and results.
3Fill the dedicated salt the moment its indicator lights, and set the softener to your area's hardness — in Egypt this is not optional, it is the basis of results.
4Always use rinse aid — not just for shine: it helps drying and prevents the white haze on glassware.
5Run an empty hot program with dishwasher cleaner monthly — it clears grease build-up in the pipes and pump.

Ariston Dishwasher Repair FAQ

What is the Ariston dishwasher service number?

The short number 16062 — 24/7 for all governorates. You can also WhatsApp the model and the code or blink description to 01050887010 for a free initial diagnosis before the visit.

White film on my dishes — fault or usage?

Usually the salt system: an empty reservoir or a softener set below your area's real hardness, so limescale deposits on the glass. Fill the dedicated salt and adjust the softener — if the haze persists, we come and set it to your area's measured water, a standard part of every visit.

It stops mid-program and beeps — what should I do?

A stop with a beep is usually a drain issue (AL03): clean the bottom filters, check the drain hose for kinks, and retry. If it recurs, the pump or sensor needs checking — the technician usually arrives with both parts ready.

Do you install and repair built-in dishwashers?

Yes — professional removal and refitting from the kitchen unit without damaging the facade or wood, full fault repair, and balance and facade re-set afterwards. Mention "built-in" on the call so we send the right specialist.

Is dishwasher salt really necessary in Egypt?

Very — most areas have hard water, and without salt and the softener: the heating element scales up, the arms clog, and glassware hazes. Dedicated salt is cheap and protects the most expensive parts — and never substitute table salt.

Are you the official Ariston agent?

We are a specialized Ariston service center, not the official agent — repair with genuine parts and a written 6-month warranty is our specialty. Under the purchase warranty, use the entity on your certificate; out of warranty, we reach you faster with the same part quality.

How much does an Ariston dishwasher repair cost?

It depends on the fault and parts: the inspection is always free and the full final price is announced before any work — decide not to repair and you pay nothing, with no hidden fees.
