If the machine Ariston shows the error F17 on the display, this may indicate a problem with closing the door.
Electronically controlled SMs display an error code on the display, while electromechanical models display a fault code on the control panel. At the same time, the "Extra rinse" - "Spin" lamps blink.

We will analyze the main problems of the hatch, as well as ways to solve the problem.
The door does not snap
When you close the machine, something seems to be in the way.
Perhaps this will help reset the error F17. If this is not the cause of the breakdown, how to fix the situation, read on.
The door does not lock
Since the hatch is not locked, washing will not start. The guide may have worn out. The item cannot be repaired; it is better to replace it.
The lock does not work
The hatch of your washing machine Ariston (Hotpoint Ariston) works as usual, but the wash does not start, error F 17 is on.
What does this mean: a faulty locking device (UBL). Before making a replacement, check the bollard with a multimeter to confirm the failure.
Also, the UBL could become clogged with small debris. To replace and clean the device, you need to remove it. Do the following:
- Disconnect SM Ariston from a network.
- Shut off the water supply.
- Open the hatch, unscrew the screws securing the lock.
- Bending the rubber seal, pry the spring under it and carefully pull it out.
- Slide the seal to the side and pull out the UBL.
- Wring out a latch, remove a cover.
- Disconnect the wires, install the new interlock in the reverse order. The video will help you with this:
If the machine operates normally, the hatch is well fixed and the error is removed, then everything is done correctly. Following the recommendations, you can fix the washing machine yourself.
