Breakdowns A1 and A2 in Hotpoint Ariston refrigerators
Breakdown code A1 means that the temperature in the compartments is above normal.
Likely reasons:
- The fan is overgrown with ice and does not work. Cold air does not enter the compartment.
- The evaporator freezes. Its sensor is broken.
- The heater burned out.
- The main board does not work correctly.
What you can do yourself:
- Check that the door is snug against the body. The hinges may have sagged or the seal has worn out. Then warm air enters the chamber and the temperature rises. It is easy to replace the seal with your own hands. Try to tighten the door fasteners or replace the hinges.
- The refrigerator is turned off because there is no electricity. Reboot the system and turn on the equipment again.
If you recently loaded food into the chamber, wait 20-30 minutes for the temperature to recover.
- Defrost equipment until ice and snow growths come off the walls.
If these methods do not help, it is better to consult a specialist.
Error A02 indicates an excess in temperature in the freezer compartment. The actions are the same as in the previous case. Additionally, you can check the thermostat to see if the correct values are set.
Now you know what to do if the code is displayed on the screen. Do not delay the check so that the breakdown does not become fatal.
