If you own an AEG washing machine, it’s certain that you have experienced an error code at some point in the past, or will in the future.
This doesn’t just apply to AEG washing machines, but every other brand alike.
Error codes can be confusing, and while these error codes may seem common, they all have different meanings and require different approaches to fix them.
Before you start solving any of these errors, read this quick guide, which has been written to help you understand the common AEG washing machine error codes, and provide you with possible solutions.
Let’s begin.
AEG Washing Machine Maintenance
With usage, your AEG washing machine will have regular wear and tear, just like any other electrical product.
But, just like we mentioned in our washing machine repair guide, your machine needs some maintenance from time to time.
Here’s how you can take care of your machine.
1. Ventilate Your Washing Machine After Every Wash
Washing machines need ventilation. Otherwise, they may develop damp smells.
Ventilating your machine after every cycle allows the air to flow throughout the machine and prevents any build-up of mould.
To ventilate, simply leave your washing machine door slightly open as well as your detergent tray.
2. Use High-Quality Parts When The Need Arises
When an appliance breaks down, there’s always an option to either use the original parts by spending a few extra bucks or save money by using low-quality parts.
The problem with low-quality parts is that they pose a safety risk. In addition to this, they are less reliable – requiring replacement more frequently.
Ask your appliance repair technician to always install original parts in your machine, when required.
3. Always Stick To The Drum Capacity
Washing machine overloading is a common problem in most households.
By consistently overloading your washing machine, it can lead to your machine not spinning properly.
If your machine’s drum capacity is 6 kilograms, always stick to that to ensure a healthy washing machine capable of serving you for many years to come.
4. Regularly Clean Your Washing Machine’s Filter
Not cleaning your machine’s filter leads to built-up debris that may cause your appliance to malfunction.
We’ve already created a guide on how to clean your washing machine filter.
We recommend cleaning your machine’s filter every few months to make sure there’s no slow drainage or accumulation of debris.
Error Codes in AEG Washing Machines
An error code indicates a problem within your appliance.
When an error code pops up on your washing machine screen, it’s an indication that something is wrong.
For example, an E10 error code on your AEG washing machine will indicate a water supply fault.
However, it is key to note that error codes are not always 100% accurate.
By knowing the error code, you will have an idea of the fault within your appliance – however, you will still have to investigate the fault, with relevant knowledge and tools, to ensure a quick and reliable resolution.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of the error codes you might get on your AEG washing machine.
Common AEG Washing Machine Error Codes & Solutions
Error Code | Description |
E10 or C1 | This usually indicates a water supply problem. You should check the inlet hose, located at the rear of the appliance for blockages or kinks. If the problem persists, ensure that the water supply valve is switched on and not blocked up. |
E20, E21 or C2 | Indicates a drainage problem with your machine. You should check the filter and ensure that it is not blocked. Alternatively, you can check the waste hose at the rear of your appliance. |
E30, E31, E32, E35, E38 or C3 | These error codes may indicate a fault with your washing machine’s pressure switch. The pressure switch signals to the control board how much water is in the drum of your appliance, and if faulty, the water can overfill and cause a flood. To repair this problem, we recommend contacting a professional. |
E40 | Indicates a problem with your washing machine door lock. To resolve this problem, we recommend contacting a professional as it can be difficult to investigate without previous appliance knowledge and experience. However, if you’re confident with DIY repairs, you can inspect the door lock for any signs of damage. In addition, your door handle should not be wobbly, instead, it should be firm. |
E50, E59, C9 or F9 | Indicates a problem with your washing machine’s motor. The motor sits at the rear of your appliance and helps your washing machine spin. Once faulty, your washing machine will stop spinning. To resolve this problem, please contact your local washing machine repair expert as this fault can be difficult to investigate without previous appliance repair experience. |
E60 | This usually indicates a heating problem within your appliance. It is often due to a faulty component. To resolve this problem, we recommend contacting your local appliance repair specialist as it can be difficult to investigate such an error code without previous experience in appliance repairs. |
