ARDO Washer won't start
If your ARDO washer won’t start, first confirm both the hot and cold water supply valves are fully open. A washer may not begin the cycle if it cannot fill. If your washing machine won’t turn on or the controls respond incorrectly, the user control and display board may be defective. Press the control panel buttons to check whether some work while others do not, and verify the board has power before replacing it. The timer is another possible cause, but it is often misdiagnosed, so test it for continuity using the wiring diagram. Make sure the door or lid is completely closed because the washer will not run when the door is open. If the washer has power but won’t start, test the line fuse with a multimeter. A blown fuse can result from a shorted wire, motor, or drain pump, so correct the underlying problem before installing a new fuse. Enter your ARDO washing machine model number to find the exact replacement control board, timer, line fuse, or other part that fits your specific washer.

06 - ARDO Washing Machine Line Fuse
The line fuse blows if the washer circuits are overloaded. If the line fuse blows, the washer won’t start. To determine if the line fuse is at fault, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the fuse does not have continuity, replace it. In addition, you should investigate and resolve the problem that caused the fuse to blow. Check for shorted out components such as the wires, motor, or drain pump. If you don’t resolve the underlying issue, the new fuse will blow too.
Highly Likely
07 - ARDO Washing Machine Thermal Fuse
If the washer overheats, the thermal fuse will blow. If the line fuse blows, the washer won’t start. To determine if the thermal fuse is at fault, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the fuse does not have continuity, replace it. In addition, you should investigate and resolve the problem that caused the fuse to blow. If you don’t resolve the underlying issue, the new fuse will blow too.
