When deciding to buy a washing machine, you want to know as much as possible about its design and functions. In addition to the instructions, manufacturers place special stickers on the body - the marking of the Ariston washing machines.
The encrypted code contains information that allows the buyer to choose one or another model. In our article, you will learn how to correctly decipher the encoding of Hotpoint Ariston washers.
Marking washing machines "Ariston": decoding designations
What does the serial number on the washing machine mean? They can vary depending on the type of CM.
Initially, the washing machines of the "Merloni" concern were produced under the "Ariston" brand. But after the merger with the Hotpoint firm, they wanted to rename the brand. Since Ariston washers were in great demand in Russia and the CIS countries, the name was not removed, so today you can find Hotpoint Ariston machines.
Models "Ariston" Digital Motion
As an example, consider the encoding RST 703 DW.
- The first letter R stands for the engine type. In this case, it is a Direct Drive motor. The engine is attached directly to the CMA drum, therefore the noise level is reduced, vibrations are minimized. The service life of such a motor is several times longer than a collector motor. The absence of a drive belt reduces the number of repairs. Therefore, pay attention to this when buying.
- The next S stands for the depth of the case. This is a narrow model of a washing machine. If the letter P is indicated, then the depth of the case is standard.
- The third symbol is T: the presence of the display and the corresponding electronic type of control.
- The number 7 indicates the drum capacity. You can load up to 7 kg of laundry at a time. If at this place the number 5 or 3 is indicated, the download is appropriate.
- The last two letters DW indicate the design of the machine.
More advanced line of washing machines with extended functionality. Decryption on the example of the model AQS0F 05S CIS.
- AQ designation indicates a series of washing machines - AQUALTIS. It can also be QV.
- The next letter S means that the body of the washing machine is narrow. Unlike standard models, narrow models have their own advantages. They can be installed in rooms with limited space. However, closely spaced parts are believed to wear out faster.
- The number 0 means that the drum capacity is 6 kg. The number 1 has the same meaning. In other cases, the symbols correspond exactly to the size of the download. For example, 7 means 7 kg, 8 - 8 kg, 9 - 9 kg, 10 - 10 kg, 11 - 11 kg. 86 = 8 + 6 kg (including drying), 97 - 9 + 7 kg (drying), 107 - 10 + 7 kg and 117 - 11 + 7 kg (drying).
- The letter F indicates the type of washing machine control.
- The 05S symbol combination denotes the design of a particular model.
- The letters at the end - CIS - will tell you the country of origin of the AGR. In this case, it is Russia.
Consider another example: the Ariston model QVSE 8129 U CIS.
- QV, as you understand, stands for AQUALTIS release series.
- Next comes the letter S. As in the first case, it indicates the depth of the hull. This is a narrow washing machine.
- Then the differences begin. The E symbol indicates the way the washing machine is controlled (electronic, mechanical).
- Number 8 indicates the degree of drum loading. This model can hold 8 kg of dirty laundry.
- The number 12 will tell you the spinning power. In this case, it reaches 1200 rpm.
- The number 9 denotes the design of this series.
- The letter U indicates the color of the loading door.
Model AQ XX MD 12 9 HS HA, where:
- AQ - as always a model, a series.
- XX - capacity of 7.5 kg (X - 6 kg, G - 8 kg, S - narrow by 4.5 kg).
- M - the presence of drying. Maybe LF is an auto-dispenser for detergents.
- D - LCD display, L - LED, F - digital display.
- 12 - spinning power 1200 rpm.
- 9 - Super Silent (quiet operation). Also can be 5 - No Super Silent, 8 - 3-phase motor and tank light.
- H - additional box.
- S - silver, PI - pearl.
- HA - Hotpoint Ariston brand.
Additionally, new symbols may appear in this series, depending on the functionality:
- D - Touch LCD.
- 4 - spinning at 1400 rpm. 8 - 800, 0 - 1000, 2 - 1200, 6 - 1600 rpm.
- 2 - energy saving A 20%, 1 - A 10%.
- W - load sensor.
- B - screen in Russian.
Of the new series, there are such markings: AR M XX D 12 9 S .L.
- AR is a new aesthetic.
- XX - capacity, as indicated above.
- D - LCD display.
- 12 - speed of revolutions (multiply this figure by 100 and get the maximum number of revolutions).
- 9 - quiet operation.
- S - silver color.
- .L - assembly in Lipetsk, .R - assembly in Poland.
Classic models Ariston
Here are the washing machines of the previous years of production. Conventional drive motor and equipment. The marking indicates the type of loading of the machine.
Deciphering the meaning of the code WMSF 6080B CIS.
- The first two letters WM indicate the front loading method. If AR is indicated at the beginning, then loading is carried out vertically.
- The combination of the S and F symbols, as before, is unchanged: a narrow AGR with a certain type of control. For example, F indicates a small display, L for an LED, G for a large screen, and D for an LCD display.
- The number 6 indicates the load volume - 6 kg. It can be from 4 to 10 kg. There are also such indicators: 86 - 8 +6 kg (with drying), 97 - 9 + 7 kg and 107 - 10 +7 kg with drying.
- The next two digits 08 are the number of revolutions per minute. This model is capable of spinning laundry at 800 rpm. There are also indicators 06 - 600 rpm, 0 - 1000 rpm, 2 - 1200, 4 - 1400 and 5 - 1600 rpm.
- The number 0 indicates the design of the washer case - white. S - silver, K - black, B - white with a black hatch.
- The penultimate letter B indicates the hatch color. For example: X - stainless steel, BS - white with gray hatch, BX - white with stainless hatch.
- The last letter combination CIS indicates that the car was produced in the Russian Federation.
Now you can navigate among symbols and numbers. When choosing the Ariston technique, pay attention to its marking.
