AEG Washing Machine Error Codes
AEG washing machines group codes into families (E10, E20, E40 and so on), and models without a display signal the same fault with beeps or flashes. AEG asks you to note the full code before switching off, because a reset clears it. AEG dishwashers use i-codes such as i20.
Codes can vary by model
Check the model number on your washing machine’s rating label and your manual. We only list codes we’ve checked against AEG guidance. For anything else, use AEG UK support.

|---|---|---|
| E10 also E11, C1 | The machine has a water flow problem: it isn’t filling as expected. | Usually simple |

| E40 also E41 | The machine can’t detect that the door is securely closed and locked, so it won’t start. | Usually simple |
