When your AEG dishwasher starts acting up, the first thing that might come to mind is worry about a costly repair or, worse, the need to replace the appliance. However, before jumping to conclusions, it’s important to understand that many common issues can be easily identified through the error codes displayed by your dishwasher. These codes are a way for your appliance to communicate with you, indicating what’s wrong or what needs attention.
To help you decipher these messages, we’ve prepared a comprehensive table of specific error codes for AEG dishwashers. But before we dive into it, let’s clarify some concepts that might be a bit technical.
What is an error code?
An error code is a combination of numbers and/or letters that appears on your dishwasher’s control panel. Each code is associated with a specific problem, from something as simple as an open door to more complex issues related to the motor or the appliance’s electronics.
How to use this table?
When your dishwasher displays an error code, simply look it up in the table we provide below. Next to each code, you’ll find a description of the problem, the likely cause, and most importantly, the recommended solution. This will give you a clear idea of what you can do to solve the problem, whether it’s something you can handle yourself or if you need to call a technician.
Without further ado, here is the table of error codes for AEG dishwashers:
