The short answer
The ARWDF line is one cabinet sold in several finishes, and the table below lists every row of it. Across Ariston ARWDF washer-dryer combos the work is dominated by a control or display fault 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
- Controls, Display or Error Code — The panel shows a lock or a hold and will not respond to start. The usual cause here is a control lock, a delay timer or a cycle left paused, and the linked page carries the full diagnostic. — Slug: ariston-ariston-washer-dryer-combo-arwdf-washer-dryer-combo-control-fault-2 — Title: Ariston ARWDF Washer Dryer Combo: Controls, Display or Error Code
- 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-arwdf-washer-drainage-failure-2 — Title: Ariston ARWDF 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-arwdf-washer-water-leak-2 — Title: Ariston ARWDF Washer: Water Leak
Problem classes in frequency order on this line
- Controls, Display or Error Code — Most often on this line in ordinary service, because one drum doing two jobs stops at the changeover whenever either half is unhappy. 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 if the machine trips the breaker or smells hot when it stalls, and leave it off in the meantime. That is no longer a control question.
