ARDO Washer won't stop

If your ARDO washer won’t stop, it may be stuck in a cycle or keep running because water is siphoning from the tub. Start by checking the drain hose. Its outlet should end 30 to 36 inches above the floor in a standpipe or laundry tub. If the hose is sealed at the standpipe opening or pushed too far into the pipe, water can drain continuously, causing the washer to keep filling and running. If the washer drains normally, a faulty control board is the next likely cause. Inspect the control board for burn marks or shorted components, though it cannot be tested easily. A defective main control board can cause the same washer not stopping problem. If both boards appear sound, test the timer with a multimeter and the wiring diagram, then replace it if defective. These parts can resolve a washing machine that won’t stop, a washer stuck on a cycle, or a washer that keeps running. Enter your ARDO model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific washing machine.

01 - Water siphoning from tub

If the water is siphoning from the tub the outlet end of the drain hose is likely lower than the water level in the tub. The drain hose should terminate between 30 inches to 36 inches (77 centimeters to 92 centimeters) above the floor, depending on the model, in a standpipe or laundry tub. If the drain hose is sealed at the top of the standpipe or excess hose is pushed too far down into the pipe, siphoning can also occur.

02 - ARDO Washing Machine Control Board

If the washer can successfully drain the water from the tub then a defective control board could be responsible for the washer not stopping. The control board cannot be easily tested, but you can try to inspect it for signs of burning or a shorted-out component to help determine if the part should be replaced.
