Each tumble dryer model is equipped with a display system to detect the fault code linked to the malfunction it is experiencing. Also called error code or fault code, you will find below the list of codes for your AEG dryer with their meaning . You will then be able to recognize the error code associated with any incident occurring on your device.
The code corresponding to the fault can be found directly on the front panel of your AEG tumble dryer , if it is equipped with one. The display mode depends on your device model. For example, an “Err 01” code may be indicated there, but you may also observe lights flashing (the “Err 01” code here will correspond to 1 light flash).
In order to accurately detect the breakdown of your AEG dryer, you can consult the instructions for use . You will find the correspondences between the flashing lights and the associated error codes, depending on the characteristics of each brand and each model.
