Ariston LFC2C19X (Stainless Steel) Questions & Answers

That doesn’t sound right at all. I would contact the store you Purchased it from to discuss the issue and consider your options.
All the best

Maybe dishwasher salt is required

This is definitely something you need to get looked at. Call the warranty phone number.

Hi, I purchased this machine yesterday from Harvey Norman and the rep told us to putvwayer in the salt resevoir on first fire up, which we did. It does not finish a full cycle and come up with the salt reservior button red as like an error. Not at all impressed. Reading feedback I'm.now nervous we have purchased a dodgy brand and got sucked by the sales pitch!

Not at all.
Mine came from a Harvey Norman outlet (seconds and older stock etc).
We saved close to $200 this way.
Ours was meant to be a second (factory tested etc) but you wouldn't know it from looking at it and it still has the same 5 year warranty.

Thanks for that - lucky find!

No idea about this I'm sorry.
We find that most plastics are dry by the end of the cycle.
I'm not sure if all the cycles have a drying element to them either.
Does opening the door right at the end of the cycle for a few minutes help (not really convenient though)?
I can assume that you are using rinse aid.

We use the Finish power ball tabs. They worked well in our old machine. Do you think we need a rinse aid as well?

My guess (based on what happened to us) is that the outlet pipe at the back needs to be raised 30-40cm before it drops down.
What is happening at the moment is that the water is simply draining out which in turn shuts the machine down (earlier than normal).
When we first put our machine in, we didn't have the outlet pipe raised, and we didn't have any problems for a while, but then we started to experience exactly what you seem to be describing.
Once we raised the outlet pipe, it started working perfectly every time.
I can't remember if the lights were all flashing, but it's worth checking the outlet pipe.

As for the salt light, you just have to ignore it unless you are living outside of a major metropolitan area. I was concerned about having to salt into the machine (thinking that it was going to be an annoying ongoing cost) so I rang the Ariston customer service number and they said that salt isn't needed in major metro areas.
Hope this helps.

Thank you so much for your advice it was extremely helpful and correct as that was the problem

to quote the manual..... if the installed inlet hose is marked 25C max, the maximum allowed water temperature is 25C. For all other models the maximum allowed water temperature is 60C.

This doesn't help as my inlet hose has 3 temperatures listed on it, Tm 90 C 3/5min, Tm 25 C 100%, Tu 60 C, IP67. Can you confirm? Mine is currently connected to cold but everything is very wet when wash is complete. Wondering if hot water supply will ensure things are dry
