Ariston boiler: main errors and how to understand them

In this article, we list the most common errors with Ariston boilers and how to interpret them correctly. Ariston boilers are known for combining comfort and elegance with great fuel efficiency and low polluting emissions. It pays to know its breakdowns and understand its well thought out error code. You can also see the Aristonspare parts that we have available at Suner.

How to read error codes on Ariston boilers

Ariston boilers have their own system of error codes (like most boilers). Whenever the boiler processor detects a problem that hinders or prevents correct operation, in order to prevent the breakdown from escalating, it causes a lockout and displays an error code that gives clues (quite accurate, but not always) about the problem. We will look at what may be happening.

Ariston boilers come equipped with a very user-friendly control panel, even if you are not a technician or have specialist boiler knowledge. Said panel incorporates a display or small digital screen that facilitates the reading of the error codes on the Ariston boiler.

In Ariston boilers errors are divided into 2 groups:

• Volatile errors in the Ariston boiler: The so-called “volatile errors” are more like “safety shutdowns” that the boiler makes. They have the objective that the boiler corrects itself without human intervention, restarting automatically to continue working normally.
• Non-volatile errors in Ariston boiler: The term “non-volatile errors” means that the boiler has a true fault, in the sense that said the problem does not correct itself, but rather, unlike the “volatile errors”, it does require human intervention to fix it, either by rearming or resetting the boiler or by solving faults with the parts or replacing them with spare parts.

One more detail. Each error code on the Ariston boiler is located in a specific functional group. The first number of the error code indicates to which functional group it belongs, and this indicates in which part of the boiler or circuit the fault is located. These are the functional groups:

1. Main Circuit
2. Sanitary Circuit
3. Internal electronic part
4. External electronic part
5. Ignition and Flame Detection
6. Air inlet and smoke outlet

Taking into account the above list, we have, for example, the error code 203 indicates that the error is part of functional group 2, and therefore the fault has occurred in the Sanitary circuit. Another example: If the boiler indicates an error 610, this implies that the fault is located in some component of the air inlet or smoke outlet. Having placed ourselves in these functional groups, the manual goes on to describe the errors in detail.

Ariston boilers errors and how to interpret them

Here we will present all the errors in the Ariston boiler and what faults they indicate, taking as a reference the Class One model manual (as it is a fairly popular model, although the errors apply to other models). As will be seen, the solutions for the breakdowns are not indicated, just as they are not indicated in the manual. The most convenient thing is that the faults are solved by a qualified technician, since many factors must be taken into account at the same time, to determine which of all possible errors is the problem and which is the exact solution.
