When it comes to cooking, AEG hobs are an essential tool in many modern kitchens. However, like any other appliance, they can experience technical issues from time to time. One of the ways these issues manifest themselves is through error codes. These codes are designed to help you quickly identify what’s wrong with your hob, but understanding what each one means can be a challenge.
In this article, we present a complete table of error codes for AEG hobs. Before we dive into it, let’s clarify some concepts that might be new or confusing to you.
What is an error code?
An error code is a combination of letters and/or numbers that appears on your hob’s display. This code is programmed to alert you about a specific problem or malfunction within the appliance.
Why is it important to know these codes?
Understanding what these codes mean can save you time and money. In some cases, the issue may be something you can resolve yourself without needing to call a technician. In others, it will help you accurately describe the problem to the technician, facilitating a quicker and more efficient repair.
