Urgency

Medium

Quick answer

On Ariston Nuos Plus S2 Wi-Fi and Lydos Hybrid Wi-Fi heat pump water heaters, error code 314 signals repeated ON/OFF switching and turns off both the heat pump and the electric heating element. Wait at least 15 minutes without touching the button before unlocking with ON/OFF.

Safety first

Stop and check this first

  • While error 314 is active, both the electric heating element and the heat pump remain OFF; pressing ON/OFF again before 15 minutes have passed will keep hot water production stopped.
  • All power supply circuits must be disconnected before accessing any internal terminals, and maintenance or repairs may only be carried out by qualified personnel.

Safe checks you can perform

  • Leave the water heater untouched for at least 15 full minutes
  • Unlock the appliance with the ON/OFF button after the 15-minute wait
  • Watch the display to see whether a different fault code appears after unlocking

Leave these tasks to a qualified professional

  • Do not attempt this professional task: Contact Ariston technical assistance if code 314 persists after waiting 15 minutes
  • Do not attempt this professional task: Have a qualified technician inspect the user interface and main board connections

What a technician must be able to justify

Technician visit

These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.

These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.

  1. Contact Ariston technical assistance if code 314 persists after waiting 15 minutes

    What they doIf code 314 does not clear after waiting at least 15 minutes and unlocking once with ON/OFF, or if it returns without anyone touching the keypad, contact Ariston technical assistance.

    They must show youthe keypad unlock test after the 15-minute interval and the last 10 logged faults (installer parameter P30 ERRORS on Nuos Plus S2).

    In writingthe Ariston service reference number and the list of error codes stored in the unit's fault history.

  2. Have a qualified technician inspect the user interface and main board connections

    What they doAfter disconnecting all power supply circuits from the mains, a qualified technician must check the electrical connections between the user interface panel (HMI) and the main board (tarjeta madre), replacing any faulty board or cable with original Ariston parts.

    They must show youthe inspection of the interface connector on the main board and stable operation with no unprompted 314 lockouts.

    In writingthe service report detailing the electronic connection check, any replaced parts and the completed function test.

Before accepting a part or repair

Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.

Follow these steps

Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.

  1. Leave the water heater untouched for at least 15 full minutes

    No special tools

    Who:
    you.
    How:
    when 314 flashes on the display, keep the appliance connected to the power supply and do not press the ON/OFF button or any other key for at least 15 minutes.
    Result that matters:
    completing the mandatory 15-minute lockout timer required by Ariston before unlocking.
    If at least 15 minutes have passed without any button presses:
    proceed to unlock the unit with the ON/OFF button.
    If you press ON/OFF before the 15 minutes are up:
    the unit stays locked with both the heat pump and heating element OFF.
    Evidence to keep:
    note of the time when code 314 was spotted and the time when the 15-minute wait finished.

  2. Unlock the appliance with the ON/OFF button after the 15-minute wait

    No special tools

    Who:
    you.
    How:
    once the 15 minutes have elapsed, unlock the appliance using the ON/OFF button (pressing the ON/OFF key twice as specified in the Lydos Hybrid Wi-Fi table, or pressing ON/OFF on the Nuos Plus S2 Wi-Fi) a single time.
    Result that matters:
    clearing code 314 from the display so the heat pump and electric heating element can operate again.
    If the screen returns to the normal water temperature view:
    the repeated ON/OFF lockout has cleared.
    If code 314 stays on screen or comes back without anyone pressing the button:
    do not keep pressing ON/OFF and check for an underlying fault.
    Evidence to keep:
    photo of the display after performing the unlock step following the 15-minute wait.

  3. Watch the display to see whether a different fault code appears after unlocking

    No special tools

    Who:
    you.
    How:
    observe the display for a few minutes after 314 clears to check whether another error code or flashing heat pump (HP) or heating element icon appears that originally prompted the repeated resets.
    Result that matters:
    distinguishing a user-triggered 314 lockout from an underlying heat pump or water circuit error.
    If another error code appears on the display:
    write down that code and call technical assistance without repeating rapid ON/OFF resets.
    If code 314 keeps reappearing on its own:
    book a visit from Ariston technical assistance.
    Evidence to keep:
    photo of any subsequent error code or flashing status symbol shown on the screen.

What it means

In the official Spanish/multilingual instruction manuals for the Ariston Nuos Plus S2 Wi-Fi (80L, 110L and 150L) and Ariston Lydos Hybrid Wi-Fi (80L and 100L) heat pump water heaters, error code 314 is listed as repeated ON/OFF (ON/OFF repetido / ON/OFF repetidos under electronics circuit codes). While code 314 is active, both the electric heating element and the heat pump are set to OFF, halting all water heating to protect the compressor and control electronics. Other Ariston models may handle rapid switching differently. On its own, code 314 never proves that the ON/OFF key, compressor or main board is faulty.

Warnings and stop conditions

Symptoms and causes

Probable causes · in order

  • Repeated pressing of the ON/OFF button within a short periodCommon

    Switching the water heater off and on several times in quick succession via the ON/OFF button triggers the protective 314 electronic lockout.

  • Multiple reset attempts in a row while trying to clear another errorPossible

    Pressing ON/OFF repeatedly to clear a previous fault code causes the electronics to lock out both the heat pump and the electric element for at least 15 minutes.

  • False button signal on the user interface panel or main board connectionLess common

    If code 314 appears without anyone touching the controls, a loose connection between the user interface and the main board or a faulty keypad may register repeated presses.
