A076031 Genuine Material Filter for Ariston Appliances, Ariston Replacement Filter, Ariston Indesit Whirlpool Group Spare Part

A076031 is a genuine Ariston filter, listed in the manufacturer's description as a material filter. That wording suggests a filter made from a soft filter material, such as fabric or fleece, rather than a metal mesh, though our records don't spell it out. The appliance isn't recorded either, so match A076031 against your old filter or the parts list for your Ariston model before ordering.

Why replace an Ariston filter

Filters catch the dust, lint, grease or debris that would otherwise build up inside an appliance and cause trouble further along. As a filter loads up, airflow or water flow drops, and the appliance has to work harder, takes longer, or may stop with a fault. Soft filter materials also tear, fray and lose their shape with washing and age, letting debris straight through. A filter that's damaged, permanently stained or missing should be replaced rather than patched.

Before you fit it

Turn the power off at the wall first. Note how the old filter sits, which way it faces and whether it clips into a frame, then take it out. Clean the housing so no loose debris falls in when the new filter goes in. Fit the replacement the same way round, check it's seated all round with no gaps, and run the appliance to make sure it works normally.

Questions about this part

Can I wash this filter instead of replacing it?

That depends on the appliance and the filter type, and our records don't say. Check your instruction book for cleaning advice. If the material is torn, matted or no longer holds its shape, a new filter is the better option.
