Troubleshooting

The AEG FAVORIT 88400 I Dishwasher has some known problems that occur often. Here are some easy to do solutions for the problems or error codes your AEG might be giving you.

The appliance does not fill with water

This issue occurs when the appliance is unable to draw water into the system.

You may also need to clean the filter in the water inlet hose or the water tap if clogged or affected by limescale.

This problem arises when the appliance cannot expel water after a wash cycle. Check and clean the sink spigot if it is clogged. Ensure that the water drain hose is free from any kinks or bends that could obstruct water flow.

The anti-flood device is on

This indicates that there are water leakages within the appliance, triggering the anti-flood mechanism. Immediately close the water tap and contact the service department for further assistance to prevent potential water damage.
