Hiya
to reset the dial, switch the power off, then turn the dial to a dot on the selection then switch the power on, the light should flash about 3-4 times this should be it reset.

for the machine to start doing this mid cyle though usually indicates something is wrong, i would hazard a guess at the pump filter is blocked and the mahine was trying to drain at the time it started clicking.

the best thing to do is empty the machine manually by placing the outlet hose into a bucket or large dish, once empty remove the plastic kick plate on the bottom of the machine and behind this you will find the filter.
before you unscrew the filter you will need to place some towels or old cloths on the floor as there will still be water left in the pipes, remove filter and any foreign objects (possibly coins, hair clips etc) and then screw back in. job done.

hope this helps

Ariston A1635 Margherita Control knob spinning

According to the instruction book - it appears the machine has been stopped mid cycle then re-started.
Switch machine off, turn control knob to a solid circle symbol (they are after every set cycle). Switch machine back on and lights will flash and program is reset. You can then select wash cycle as normal.

Ariston Margherita Washer Dryer 2000 dries when not supposed to.

I think I am right in saying that on this machine you have the facility to either incorporate the drying process as part of a program or you can use it as a stand alone dryer, is it possible that you have simply asked the machine to dry after wash by selecting a wrong program is there a another button that allows you to wash with out dry even on a wash dry program if there is such a button/switch and it does not seem to do much it could be that the switch contact have corroded and are not making proper electrical contact check manuel

Ariston frontloader - dial spinning around and won't start a cycle

Your bearings are almost certainly gone which would explain the noise not an easy job or cheap . Normally it would consist of a tub change or at best a bearing hub . As for the clicking round of the selector Iwould suggest poss the heater or brush fault. As ofr price you'd have to ask your local repair man. Worst case sinario approx £200 .00
