We use washers on a daily basis, that’s why it’s crucial to keep the device up and running. If you experience some technical problems with your AEG washer, don’t rush to call the service center – it is both costly and time-consuming. Everything can be fixed up on your own if you know how to perform diagnostics and maintenance. The process can take a few minutes, even if you’re not tech-savvy.
On this page, you can find the repair and maintenance guidelines for different models of AEG brand. They are made in the form of tables for your convenience: each table enlists the most widespread technical issues, all possible causes of malfunction, and possible solutions to the problems. Follow the step-by-step instructions to deal with issues.
Besides, you can find error codes for some washing machine models, such as LP 5280 and OKO LAVAMAT 6955. In devices of the AEG brand, there are eight major types of errors: the tables below present information about all of them.
Using these short guidelines you will be able to define the reasons of troubles and eliminate them shortly. If you still fail to fix the technical problems up, and the problem persists, don’t hesitate to call for a master. The guidelines below are taken from the official AEG washers’ manuals, but those may be not enough for fixing serious defects and irreversible mechanical or software damage.
