SOURCE: The flood switch has been activated on my dishwasher

Remove the bottom drawer by pressing in the tabs on either side of the drawer (bottom edge towards the front).

Dry out the compartment with towels and let air dry.

SOURCE: how can I reset an i30 (flood control) error?

you have to mopp up any water in the base of the machine. this can be caused by a leak . a sagging pressure pipe to the pressure switch can do it as well. you can tie it up to stop the sag. its at the front behind the plinth area.

SOURCE: How do i re set an EFO code on an AEG LAVAMAT

you just need to mop up the water inside the cabinet to allow the float switch in the base to reset.check there is nothing stopping the float returning to the floor. a small leak from the door seal can cause enough of a leak to trip it . clean the door glass and seal to stop this. or change the door seal.

AEG dishwasher draining too early / unexpectedly

The hose could be clogged or an issue with the valve assembly.Or something being stuck in the inlet water valve. Check to see if there is any problems coming from where the water enters into the tub for your dishwasher mostly on the left side wall of the tub on your dishwasher.

Receiving error code FL on washer display.

The FL error code means:
Flood Condition:FL flashes if any overfill condition occurs. This condition occurs when excessive water in the tub causes the overfill switch to trip. The control must realize that the trip was due to an overfill condition instead of a suds lack condition in order for FL to be displayed

With an overfill condition, the beeper repeats a warning every 10 seconds with no time-out. The pump is cycled in drain mode for 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off until the overfill switch resets or power is discontinued to the unit.

Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display.

This problem i see on these are the water pumps getting clogged with lint or other things, causing the pump not to pump all of the water out at times.

The washer is loaded, the lights are on but after I hit start the machine makes a grinding sound and then displays FL, but does not start the cycle.

There is a backup valve or flap in the drain assembly that seems to sometimes cause problems with the FL error code.

Drain pump runs non-stop. Continues when dial is in Stop position. When disconnected for hours, drain pump starts immediately when power restored. In any wash cycle position, drain pump runs and cycle...

sounds like the flood switch has activated.

You will have to drag the dishwasher out from under the counter after turning off the power to it. Tilt to one side so that any water collected under it is expelled. This will free up the flood switch. Wait about 30 minutes and turn the power back on.

There could be a leak of some sorts from the door seal or hoses which is causing the water to collect.

Hope this solves the problem. It is unclear why none of the lights are lighting up to show a fault condition.

Hi, I have an aeg 60870 dishwasher showing error code 30 and the pump is going all the time, even when you open the door, any suggestions of things i could try please?

Sounds like the Anti-Flood system activated (polystireen float at base of machiene coupled to a micro switch) the purpose of this system is to put the drain pump on and stops any other function on the machiene. The anti lood system activates when any amount of water appears on the bottom (caused by leaky pipe / blokked pipes / spills etc.) . Dry the water and rectify the leak. This should solve the problem.

This sounds like the anti flood system has triggered. This does put the washer on a pump out mode and the outlet pump runs all the time. The trigger device is a polystireene slab in plastic bracket with miro switch at the bottom of the washer. Dry the bottom out and check for water leaks (hose clamp / hose) and this should solve the problem.

AEG Favorite Compact 525 Dishwasher. The pump runs continuously even when the on/off button is pressed. any ideas

This is caused by the Anti-Flood device at the base of the machiene being activated. This device detects water leaks and is a polystireene float / micro switch that puts the machiene in pump out mode only. You need to determine where the leak comes from (pipe or perforated hose pin hole or pipe clamp etc.) If you tilt the washer and some water comes out from the bottom it is a clear indication that there is a small leak.

AEG Favorite Compact 525. The pump runs continuously even when the on/off button is pressed. Tho only way to stop it is to turn the power off at the socket/plug. any ideas

This seems like the anti flood system (polystireen float / micro switch) at the base of the washer is triggered,\. This puts the washer in pump out mode and stops inlet of water via the inlet solinoid. Dry the water on the base and then check for any water leaks. (pipe leak)
