Troubleshooting

The AEG LAVATHERM 57320 Dryer 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.

END (EINDE) displayed shortly after program start

The drying process terminates automatically due to too dry or too little laundry for the selected program. Select a time program or a higher drying stage such as EXTRA DRY instead of VERY DRY.

END (EINDE) display illuminated, program run display flashing

The drying process takes unusually long, 4.5 hours after the beginning: due to the SPECIAL CARE button pressed and too much laundry filled. Check the program selection: SPECIAL CARE button is appropriate only for laundry amounts up to 2.5kg. Reduce the amount of laundry filled-in. Pre-dry the laundry more thoroughly.

Door cannot be closed

Fluff filter has not been inserted correctly and/or the filter lid not closed. Replace the fluff filter and ensure the filter lid is closed.
