Diagnostics of the AEG washing machine

If during operation the AEG washing machine suddenly stopped the cycle for no apparent reason, but then did not automatically start diagnostics, then you need to activate the test mode yourself. In such a situation, the test mode will allow you to find out the cause of the malfunction, which is why it is so important to start it right away. Diagnostics of the AEG washing machine is available to ordinary users, so there is no need to call a specialist. You just need to strictly follow our instructions.

If the error code does not appear on its own

Most often, the machine automatically starts checking the modules, and then shows an error code on the display so that the user knows what problem he is encountering. Unfortunately, sometimes the equipment freezes and does not activate the test program. Then you have to force it to run.

How to determine that the washing machine was unable to turn on the test itself? In this case, the device will suddenly stop washing, spinning or rinsing, stop responding to any commands, and the error code will not appear on the display. If this happens to the device, then you should run the “Service Test” option yourself.

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

For complex repairs of AEG household appliances, you need an impressive amount of knowledge, given that there are more than a hundred fault codes, each of which requires its own repair. Therefore, sometimes it is better to call a repair service. Representatives of the service center will carry out an accurate diagnosis themselves, and will be able to repair the home assistant without any problems.

Running diagnostics

If the device of the washing machine does not raise any questions, so you can definitely handle repairs at home, then you can activate the diagnostics of the AEG washing machine. Just don’t forget to erase the previous error code from the control module’s memory. The module is designed in such a way that it can save errors that occurred previously, which is why the test results may 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 at the same time switch the program selector to the first position. If the actions are completed correctly, the LEDs on the control panel will begin to blink.
3. Now you need to switch the selector one notch clockwise, which will force the washer to check itself for errors.
4. Now you need to set position ten (“lingerie”). This action will display on the panel the error that was previously stored in the washing machine’s memory.
5. Press “Start/Pause” and “Delayed Start” again to permanently clear the problem code. When the equipment shows the code “E 00”, this means that the error has been deleted and the machine needs to be rebooted.
6. Turn off the device for a short time.

Finally you can run the test. We turn on the device and see the message “ELE” on the display, after which the test wash will begin. During diagnostics, the washer will check all systems, and then display a special code. Now all that remains is to deal with the breakdown.
