AEG Dishwasher Repairs
Quiet, efficient — and worth fixing when something goes wrong.
AEG dishwashers are well specified machines — quiet, efficient, and part of the Electrolux Group alongside Zanussi and Electrolux. Freestanding and integrated models are equally common and we repair both. Parts and diagnostic information are excellent across the group.
At Bath Washco we've been repairing AEG dishwashers across Bath, Wiltshire and Somerset for over 30 years. The I30 flood protection fault and heating element issues are among the most common faults we see — we carry parts for both in the van as standard and in most cases can fix them in a single visit.
One maintenance tip worth mentioning: keeping dishwasher salt topped up protects the heating element from limescale damage, particularly in hard water areas like Bath. It's a simple habit that can extend the life of the machine significantly.

Common AEG Dishwasher Faults & Error Codes
These are the faults we see most often on AEG, Zanussi and Electrolux dishwashers — from genuine day-to-day experience over 30 years.
Flood Protection Activated
One of the most common AEG dishwasher faults. Water in the base tray triggers flood protection and the machine stops. There are several causes — a genuine leak from a door seal or hose, overfilling caused by a pressure sensor fault, poor draining allowing water to build up in the base, or in serious cases a leak from the body of the machine itself (BER territory). Needs proper diagnosis to identify the cause.

Pressure Sensor Fault
A common fault across the group. The pressure sensor monitors water levels — when it fails the machine can overfill, which in turn triggers the I30 flood protection. Left unresolved an I40 fault can lead to water in the base tray. We see this chain of faults regularly on AEG dishwashers.
Can lead to I30 if left unresolved
Heating Element Failure
The heating element is vulnerable on AEG dishwashers — one of the more common faults we see. Hard water accelerates failure, and low or empty salt levels contribute significantly. Dishes not drying or water not heating properly are the typical symptoms. Keeping salt topped up is the best preventive measure, particularly in hard water areas like Bath.
Elements carried as standard
Turbidity Sensor Failure
The turbidity sensor measures how dirty the water is and adjusts the wash cycle accordingly. When it fails it can cause the machine to skip the heating phase, resulting in poor wash results that can be mistaken for an element fault. Not always obvious — needs proper diagnosis to distinguish from a genuine element failure.
Can be mistaken for element fault
Drain Pump Fault
Machine not draining or draining slowly — usually a blocked filter, failed drain pump, or blocked drain hose. Check and clean the filter first as it's accessible without an engineer. A blocked drain can also contribute to water building up in the base tray, triggering I30.

Door Seal Leak
A worn or damaged door seal allows water to track into the base tray during the wash cycle, often triggering the I30 flood protection fault. On integrated models the leak may not be immediately visible as it's contained within the cabinet. Door seals are a common wear item and straightforward to replace.
Seals carried as standard
Hard water area tip: Bath and the surrounding area has hard water. Keeping your dishwasher salt topped up protects the heating element from limescale damage and extends the life of the machine. It's one of the simplest things you can do to avoid a repair call-out.
About the Brand Group
AEG, Zanussi & Electrolux — One Group, Shared Expertise
All three brands are part of the Electrolux Group — shared parts platform and similar fault profiles mean we cover all three with the same expertise and stock.
AEG
Mid to premium positioning — well specified, quiet, and efficient. I30 flood protection and heating element faults are the most common issues we see. Freestanding and integrated models equally common. Parts availability excellent across the group.
You're on the AEG page
Zanussi
Entry level spec on the same Electrolux platform — simpler controls, fewer features, but the same core components underneath. Same fault profile as AEG including I30 and heating element issues. Parts cross over well across the group.
Zanussi dishwasher repair
Electrolux
Almost exclusively integrated and built-in — typically found in kitchen installations. Same group platform, same fault profile as AEG and Zanussi. Integrated machines should not be removed from the cabinet without an engineer — the supporting feet are fragile and easily broken if not handled with care.
Electrolux dishwasher repair
John Lewis
John Lewis own-brand dishwashers are often rebadged AEG or Electrolux machines — meaning Electrolux Group parts can cross over. Worth checking before assuming your John Lewis dishwasher is unrepairable or parts are unavailable. Give us a call and we'll help identify the machine.
