Error EH0 in the AEG washing machine

Self-diagnosis of the float sensor, replacing the surge protector, and flashing the control board yourself are the most common and thoughtless measures that equipment owners take if their AEG washing machine displays error EH0. An automatic machine often does not forgive such experiments; they cause serious damage. To choose the right algorithm of action, you need to ask what this fault code means.

Internal diagnostics will help

In AEG washing machines, the EH0 code is general, requiring clarification and starting a self-diagnosis cycle. In other words, when this icon appears on the display, the owner should start a test wash. But first, you need to honestly answer the question of whether you have enough knowledge and experience to cope with the situation on your own. If the answer is no, the best option is to contact a service center, especially if the warranty period has not yet expired.

If you have confidence in your own abilities, you can try to fix the breakdown without the help of professionals. The advantage of modern automatic washing machines is that they are equipped with a “smart” self-diagnosis system. It provides a list of special combinations that can be used to signal a particular malfunction. The owner can only decipher it. To do this, you must first reset the error code that appears on the display, and then turn on the test wash mode. What to do in this case?

1. Make sure the machine is plugged in but not washing.
2. Press two keys on the control panel: “Start/Pause” and “Delayed start”. They are located nearby.
3. Simultaneously with the previous action, switch the programmer to the first position. A signal that everything was done correctly will be the blinking lights on the control panel.
4. The keys can now be released. And move the gear selector clockwise forward. This is a signal for the washing machine to begin self-testing for faults.
5. Move the switch to position 10. It's called "Lingerie". The error code EH should appear on the display again.

If everything goes according to the instructions and the desired symbol lights up, you need to simultaneously press “Delayed start” and “Start/Pause” again. This is necessary to remove error data from the machine’s memory. After 2-4 seconds, code E00 should light up on the display. It signals a system update.

Important! After completing the above steps, you need to disconnect the equipment from the power supply.

After a few minutes it can be turned on again. After the ELE combination appears on the control panel, the machine will start a test wash.

What is it for?

The owner of the washing machine must constantly remain near the unit during “smart” diagnostics and monitor the display on the control panel. The system will display certain codes, signaling detected problems, or make sounds. It is better to rewrite the display symbols for accuracy or take photographs. Knowing the final combination, you can determine the cause of the malfunction of the AEG washing machine. What signals can the device send and how to decipher them?

• One sound and codes C1 and E10 indicate violations in the water intake system.
• A double beep and C2, E20 indicate the need to check the drain for blockages.
• Triple sound and C3, EF3, F3 occur when the Aquastop system is activated.
• Quadruple sound and C2, E40 – UBL.
• Nine beep sounds and codes C9, E50 indicate an engine malfunction.
• Eleven-fold sound and errors Eb0, EH0 appear when the electronic “filling” is faulty.
• Fifteen times sonic and EF1, EF2 occur when the pump is clogged or excessive foam formation.
• CE means dispensary breakdown.
• T90, CF signal that it is necessary to check the control board for serviceability.
• 8 or E80 indicates a breakdown of the programmer.

Owners of AEG washing machines need to know that running a test cycle does not cancel the manufacturer’s obligations and does not threaten to “remove” the warranty. The service center should only provide information that an independent check of the operation of the machine has been carried out. After self-diagnosis, you can begin to repair the equipment yourself or seek help from specialists.
