The short answer
The ARWL line is one cabinet sold in several finishes, and the table below lists every row of it. Across Ariston ARWL washers the work is dominated by a machine that will not start and water that will not drain, and every problem named below links to the page carrying its diagnostic.
Problems on these models, and where to read about each
- Will Not Start or No Power — The panel is completely dark and nothing responds. The usual cause here is no power at the socket, or a tripped breaker, and the linked page carries the full diagnostic. — Slug: ariston-ariston-washer-arwl-washer-wont-start-2 — Title: Ariston ARWL Washer: Will Not Start or No Power
- Not Draining — The drum is full at the end and the pump can be heard trying. The usual cause here is a blocked pump filter or coin trap, and the linked page carries the full diagnostic. — Slug: ariston-ariston-washer-arwl-washer-drainage-failure-2 — Title: Ariston ARWL Washer: Will Not Drain
- Water Leak — Water appears at the back and only while the machine is filling. The usual cause here is inlet hoses, their washers or the drain hose connection, and the linked page carries the full diagnostic. — Slug: ariston-ariston-washer-arwl-washer-water-leak-2 — Title: Ariston ARWL Washer: Water Leak
Problem classes in frequency order on this line
- Will Not Start or No Power — Most often on this line in ordinary service, because a door and a water supply both have to confirm before anything else happens. The ordering is a ranking, not a counted share.
- Not Draining — Often on this line in ordinary service, because the filter it depends on is the part owners clean least often.
- Water Leak — Often on this line in ordinary service, because every hose on it is under mains pressure whenever the taps are open.

When to call a technician
Call at once, and leave the machine unplugged, if the breaker trips as soon as it is connected or if anything smells hot. That is not a starting problem any more.
