remove the top two screws at back, lift up about 5 degrees pull back, then you wll see the latch pins remove bolt/s,lift up trim{if it has some} and the door will open then remove inner door screws to get the front panel off to get at the latch

check the anti flood micro switch under the dish washer.

In my case, it turned out that the faucet was completely clogged with scale deposits. Replacing the faucet solved the problem, so by all means, check this before you take any other action!

Hi,
Check your heating element..

I had this problem too, and was able to fix it. There is a generic problem with AEG dishwashers of this type, caused by the bad solder joint of a relay on a circuit board. Solution:
1. Disconnect mains power then open dishwasher and remove the 8 or 10 screws that hold the inox plate onto the door.

2. Gently peel away the inox plate and you'll have access to a white plastic box at the top of the door where the pushbuttons are located.

3. Undo the 4 plastic clips on the sides of the white plastic box and you'll have access to an electronic circuit board. Note the order of the 6 or 7 wire connectors along the edge of the circuit board and then unplug them. The circuit board is now only held by a flat plexi connector. Leave it attached.

4. Gently turn the circuit board over and look at the solder joints. You should see one or more dodgy solder joints. Use a soldering iron and some extra solder to redo the joints.

5. Put it all back together in reverse order to above.

This is a known problem (that no one knows about).
