How do you fix an AEG dryer error yourself?
AEG error C2 or E20
A C2 or E20 error indicates that there's a problem with the water drain.
- Check if the drain hose is properly connected to your dryer and the drain.
- Check if there's a kink or big loop in the hose and take it out.
AEG error C6
A C6 error code indicates that there's a problem with the humidity sensor. This can make the drying cycle longer than usual.
- Check if the socket is earthed. You can recognize an earthed socket by the 2 metal pins in the socket.
- Is the socket unearthed? Connect the dryer to a socket that does have the 2 metal pins.
- If the socket is earthed, the problem lies with the humidity sensor.
- First check if the lint trap and the condenser are dry.
- If the dryer still won't work, you need a technician.
AEG error C8
If error code C8 occurs, there's a problem with the temperature sensor. Make an appointment with a technician.
AEG error CD
A C8 error code means the door doesn't close properly.
- Check if there's laundry caught between the door.
- Put your laundry in the drum properly.
- Push the door until you hear a click.
- Unplug the connector for 30 seconds and restart the dryer cycle.
AEG error E40
The door doesn't close properly or the dryer is connected to the wrong power group.
- Put the laundry that was caught between the door back in the drum.
- Push the door until you hear a click.
- Unplug the connector for 30 seconds and restart the drying cycle.
- Do you have solar panels at home? Make sure the dryer is connected to a different power group.
AEG error E60
The dryer won't heat up. It's possible that's because the lint trap and condenser are dirty.
- Empty the lint trap and rinse it under the faucet.
- Dry off the lint trap with a clean cloth.
- Clean the condenser.
- Finally, make sure the room where your dryer is located is properly ventilated. Open a door or window, for example.
AEG failure EH0 or EHO
If you see an EH0 or EHO error code, the dryer doesn't receive any power.
- Check if the connector is properly plugged into the socket.
- Test to see if a different product does work plugged into this socket.
- Does the other product not work either? That means there's something with the power supply, not with the dryer.
AEG dryer doesn't dry properly
Isn't your laundry dry after the dryer cycle? The drying level might not be set right. Turn on the machine and set the dial to one of the cycles. Press the 'Drying level' and 'Anti-wrinkle' buttons at the same time until the display changes. Press the start button until CO_ appears. Save the setting by pressing the 'Drying level' and 'Anti-wrinkle' buttons simultaneously again. Doesn't this work? Check the manual of your dryer.
Error 'empty reservoir' appears
When the light for the water container comes on, the reservoir is full. Remove the reservoir from the dryer and empty it in the sink. When you put the container back and start the dryer cycle, the notification should disappear. Is your dryer connected to the water drain and do you still see this error? Check the manual to learn how you can manually turn off the light. Also make sure there's no loop in the drain hose. In addition, the drain shouldn't be higher up than 1m.
Problem not solved?
When you're solving a dryer error, it's important that the lint trap and condenser are clean. It can also help to unplug the connector for 30 minutes and to restart the dryer cycle. If this doesn't work, you need a technician. Did you buy the dryer at Coolblue and does it fall within the warranty period? Contact the customer service. If this isn't the case, you can contact AEG.
