Fault value

A malfunction with code F 07 / F 7 in the Ariston unit indicates the presence of breaks in the electrical circuit responsible for the operation of the heating element, or a breakdown in the pressure switch. In some cases, your device cannot determine if the heater is in the water, because the pressure switch cannot determine the level of water collected.

Sometimes such a malfunction can be associated with a lack of supply or the presence of water pressure.
