A799111 Genuine Drum Lifter for Ariston Washing Machines, Replacement Inner Drum Paddle Vane for Ariston Washers

Part A799111 is a genuine Ariston drum lifter, one of the raised paddles inside the drum of an Ariston washing machine. As the drum turns, the lifters pick up the clothes and drop them back through the water. A cracked, loose or missing lifter is easy to spot and worth replacing quickly. Check the number against your old lifter or the parts list for your model.

Signs the drum lifter in your Ariston washer has failed

Lifters do the tumbling work. Without them the load slides around the bottom of the drum and comes out poorly washed and badly rinsed. A broken lifter leaves sharp plastic edges and gaps that snag delicates, pull threads and can trap socks or underwire. You might also hear rattling or knocking as the drum turns, or find bits of plastic in the pump filter. Some lifters work loose when their clips or screws fail, so a lifter that moves when you push it is another sign it's time for a new one.

Changing a washing machine drum lifter

Switch the washer off at the wall and turn off the taps first. Many lifters clip into slots in the drum and release by sliding or pressing a tab, while others are held by screws. Look closely at how the old one is fixed before forcing anything. Afterwards, run your fingers around the drum holes for sharp burrs, then do a short rinse with an old towel inside to check nothing snags.

Questions about this part

How many lifters do I need?

Most washer drums have three lifters spaced around the inside. If only one is damaged you can usually replace just that one, as long as the others are firm and free of cracks. Check each lifter before ordering so everything arrives together.
