Ariston LS 2020 taking more than two hours to go through cycle
Just moved into a rental property with an Ariston LS 2020 dishwasher. Have instruction book but no idea of how long a cycle should take. Has been washing now for nearly two hours and still not finished.

Ariston and on and on...lol
The water temp thermostat is to blame or the water is not heating.Basically what happens is the washer fills with cold water and starts to wash and heat at the same time.Once the water reaches a certain temperature it moves onto the next stage of the wash program.If the water is not heating or the thermostat is not working the programmer wont get the signal to move on.Hope this helps.
hey dyan18, do you still have the instruction book for LS2020 'cos the previous owner doesn't leave me one. Would you mind to scan it and email it to me? Having a hard time finding the manual online. Thank you.

Do you still have the instruction book (manual) for LS2020 'cos the previous owner doesn't leave me one. Would you mind to scan it and email it to me? Having a hard time finding the manual online. Thank you.
If the Ariston takes more then 2 hours to finish it's cycle, the cause could possibly be the heating element. Mine was taking around 3 to 4 hours to complete the cycle. on inspection I found cracks in the heating element, Once the element was replaced it returned to the normal 2 hour cycle.
The dishwasher had been running great for around 6 months, now the wash pump is arking and causing great concern. Apparently water was slowly leaking onto the pump as the lower wash arm lock nut had loosened slightly. No looking for a cheap replacement pump.
