AEG Washing Machine Diagnostics

If your AEG washing machine suddenly stops running for no apparent reason and doesn't automatically start diagnostics, you'll need to manually activate the test mode. In this situation, the test mode will help you determine the cause of the malfunction, so it's important to start it immediately. AEG washing machine diagnostics are accessible to ordinary users, so there's no need to call a technician. Simply follow our instructions carefully.

If the error code does not appear on its own

Most often, the machine automatically initiates a module check and then displays an error code on the display so the user knows what problem they're encountering. Unfortunately, sometimes the machine freezes and doesn't activate the test program. In these cases, it's necessary to force it.

How can you tell if your washing machine failed to initiate a test? In this case, the machine will suddenly stop washing, spinning, or rinsing, stop responding to any commands, and the error code won't appear on the display. If this happens, you should manually run the "Service Test" option.

Do not activate this mode if you are not confident that you can personally repair complex equipment after diagnostics.

Complex repairs of AEG appliances require a significant amount of knowledge, given that there are over a hundred error codes, each requiring its own repair. Therefore, it's sometimes best to call a repair service. Service center representatives will perform a precise diagnosis and repair your home appliance without any hassle.

Running diagnostics

If your washing machine is working properly and you're confident you can handle the repair at home, you can run diagnostics on your AEG washing machine. Just remember to clear the previous error code from the control module's memory. The module is designed in such a way that it can save errors that have occurred previously, which can cause test results to be erroneous. To prevent this from happening, you need to perform a number of actions.

1. Press the Start/Pause and Delayed Start buttons.
2. Keep them pressed and simultaneously turn the program selector to position 1. If you've completed the steps correctly, the LEDs on the control panel will start flashing.
3. Now you need to switch the selector one notch clockwise, which will force the washing machine to check itself for errors.
4. Now you need to set the cycle to position ten ("women's underwear"). This action will display the error message previously stored in the washing machine's memory on the control panel.
5. Press "Start/Pause" and "Delayed Start" again to permanently clear the error code. When the machine displays the "E 00" code, the error has been cleared and the machine needs to be restarted.
6. Turn off the device for a short time.

Finally, we can run the test. Turn on the machine and see the message "ELE" on the display, after which the test wash will begin. During the diagnostics, the washing machine will check all systems and then display a special code. Now all that's left is to figure out the problem.
