AEG FFE62620PM dishwasher had error code i30 for second time in 2 months. How do I remove the plinth?
It seems to have gone away after giving the machine a thump. There has been some leakage of water but it is now working again. How do I get to the insides? The sides seem to be kept on by the plinth at the bottom front and I am unable to remove the plinth.

Re:
To remove the plinth on your AEG FFE62620PM dishwasher, please follow these steps:
Turn off the power supply to the dishwasher by unplugging it or turning off the circuit breaker.
Open the dishwasher door and locate the two screws on the bottom of the plinth. These screws are located on either side of the dishwasher and are usually covered by plastic caps.
Remove the plastic caps and use a screwdriver to unscrew the screws.
Pull the plinth away from the dishwasher to remove it. It may be helpful to have someone hold the dishwasher steady while you do this.
Once the plinth is removed, you should be able to access the base of the dishwasher and any components located there.
If you need to reinstall the plinth, simply reverse the above steps.

Hello Roberta, I appreciate your submission!
Based off the information you have provided me your Frigidaire dishwasher is displaying an error code of "I30". Error code "I30" means you could be experiencing an issue within the aqua control, which means it could be your water valve, water line, or control panel. You may need to reach out to your manufacturer for additional assistance. I hope this information is helpful. -Matt
Error "i30" means that water remains in base because leakage or overflow. In this case, in order to prevent flooding, drain pump running continuously.
When we talk about AEG dishwasher, drain pump works even the power is turned off (must be connected to the wall outlet, otherwise anti-flooding system will not work).
Remedy: you should first remove the water from the bottom of the dishwasher and determine leakage.
If you work around the dishwasher, you always take care that appliance must be disconnected from the power supply.
Activated Anti-flooding system, means water leakage in the buttom of dishwasher. Could be also: faulty Anti-flooding microswitch, floating sensor (styrofoam) blocked mechanically, wiring diagram, electronic.
1. Bend or put on back side the appliance and remove the three screws which secure the plinth to the lower part.
2. Remove the filter door
3. Remove two screws
4. Release the plinth
5. Turn it
6. Remove the plinth
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.
The machine must be opened and side pannels removed. Work on a table as all connections are visable once you have removed front bottom pannel and back bottom pannel. Remove the side pannels for easy access.
AEG Favorit 40850 i30 error - this is the anti-flood error. I did the tipping-over trick, great, but for me, the problem got more and more frequent until the machine would not run. So I took it apart and this is what I found: in the drainage area, next to the water drain, is a sensor. This has been described to me by a dealer as a 'temperature sensor'. I am not sure if this controls the anti-flood system, it may well do, as it is the only one in there. However, the problem is not caused by the sensor itself - around the sensor is a black rubber grommet (seal). In my machine (4 years old) this was badly perished - the rubber had become soft and oily, and about half of it had gone. The sensor itself was covered in oily goo from the grommet. I think that bits of the grommet have been coming off and jamming in the drain, and maybe causing the sensor itself not to work properly. I changed the grommet (£5 part), and it all works great. If you want to do this yourself, follow these instructions:
turn off power and uplug dishwasher
you need a screwdriver with torx bits
put lots of old towels on the floor
remove top panel using 2 screws at rear top, then push top backwards and lift off
remove front base fascia panel by sliding to left
remove right side panel - undo 2 screws at top, one at rear bottom, one at front bottom
front edge of side panel is wedged inside white trim - just ease it out, it isn't held in.
open dishwasher door and push down fully
remove curved front base panel - undo screws right up at the top of the panel, this is a tight fit against the door but you can get in if the door is pushed down fully
tip dishwasher over onto left side
follow the drain pipe in, this takes you to the drain pump
if you want to check the drain pump and pipe, twist the whole pump motor assembly to the left about 15mm - there are 3 tabs that hold it in place, you need to rotate the motor past the tabs, then you can pull it out
DO NOT remove the spring clips on the large drain pipe (50mm diameter) between the pump motor and the dishwasher drain - these are very difficult to get back on properly, and once you have taken the pump motor off you can feel right through to the dishwasher drain hole anyway.
you can take the spring clip off the white oultet hose if you want - this goes back on easily. Check the outlet pipe with a long drain-clearing spring or similar.
about 50mm further towards the front of the machine from the drain hose, going around the drain assembly, is the sensor described above
this has wires going into into it, is about 25mm diameter, and you will see the black rubber grommet around it
this is held in place with 2 plastic clips, ease these back and pull it out. TAKE CARE not to break these clips.
If the grommet is heavily worn or perished, you need a new one. The part number is written on the surface of the grommet.
reassemble in reverse order. Before you put the panels back on, and with the power still OFF, tip the dishwasher back upright again, open the door, and pour 1 litre of water in (this will end up on your kitchen floor, so don't put too much in).
Check carefully under the machine, with a torch, around the areas where you have been working - the sensor and the drain pipes - to make sure there are no leaks.
If it all seems OK, dry the floor, turn the power on and run the dishwasher. MAKE SURE you are standing on dry floor when you do this. Check under the dishwasher again for leaks.
Let the dishwasher run a complete cycle. Check for leaks when it is pumping out.
If everything seems OK, turn the power off again, put the panels back on, then turn the power back on.
