Fault or error codes used in dishwashers produced by AEG for a wide range of Electrolux Group owned brands including Zanussi and others so you will see these dishwasher error codes used on other brands.
These dishwasher fault codes will displayed as a flashing light exactly as you will see below, on the display on the top of the dishwasher door.
You will see mention of the IWMS (Inlet Water Management System) here that you can find out more about in this article.
Please remember to support our site by buying AEG spares from our store here and, if you decide that you really need an engineer please support the local repairers that help make this site possible, you can find a local dishwasher engineer using our engineer search facility.
Like other fault codes these written for dishwasher repairers and not for the general public by AEG and they assume a certain level of competence on the part of the user in diagnostic routines. We may have added some notes to try to assist you in determining the nature of the fault you have but, you will still need to investigate each failure on its own merits. For more help and advice on fault finding on a dishwasher please refer to our basic fault finding guide from this link before you begin.
Please check that any AEG dishwasher spares recommended are suitable for use on your particular model and PNC number or serial number. If you are unsure about the suitability of any spare part please ask to ensure that you get the correct spares for your washing machine. Please, don't guess or assume as spares can be altered on a production run with the same model number having several different alternative components used.

We have deliberately not given links to any spares in this article and, as you may suspect from this guidance, with very good reason.
Zanussi, AEG, Tricity Bendix and all other Electrolux Group appliances are found using two key pieces of information, what the part is and the PNC number from the rating plate. We can often find them from the model number because we can eliminate multiple instances on occasion and, we know what we're looking at and for, you often won't. But, even with our knowledge even we will often need the PNC code to identify the machine correctly and, accordingly, the spares required.
Our advice is very simple, don't guess at it and end up with the wrong parts, contact us from this link and check that you are ordering the correct AEG spares.
Should you need more help and guidance please use the links from this article as most of them will help you to understand your AEG dishwasher a lot better and probably very much help you in diagnosing the fault you have. Of course there are many other articles on the site that will also help you do this.
In addition you can post in our help and advice forums after registering but please do pay heed to the information below before doing so and read the guides, they are there to help you. But if you are in any doubt at all or don't think you are up to diagnosing the dishwasher fault yourself please use our engineer search facility.
You must understand certain things before you begin or attempt any repairs on your own and we want to make these points very, very clear to anyone that decides to investigate one of these or any other washing machines:
Please do note that manufacturers can and do change fault codes without notice and we cannot guarantee that these error codes will apply to your particular model as all codes apply to a wide range of appliances and not normally any one specific model. To determine if these fault codes do apply to your particular AEG dishwasher model please post a request to confirm this in the forums.
Buying spare parts for any dishwasher or getting a service engineer can range from the simplest task in the world to one of the most daunting as you try to pick your way through model numbers, serial numbers, ranges and all sorts of information. We try to make this as simple as possible for you and take out any hassle but, sometimes, we know that we all need a little help from the experts.
