AEG Washer Repair

It will not drain and water is standing in the drum. The pump filter behind the small flap at the bottom front. Coins, buttons and hairpins collect there, it is designed to be cleared periodically, and most owners were never told it exists. If it is clear, the pump or the pressure sensor is next.

The door will not unlock at the end of a cycle. Door lock assembly. Inexpensive, common on any front-loader, and among the most disruptive failures — your laundry is sealed inside a machine that will not open.

It walks or bangs hard on spin. Shock absorbers or the suspension springs. European machines spin fast, which makes them less forgiving of worn dampers than a slower North American top-loader.

It is leaking from the front. Door gasket, almost always the lower fold where water and detergent sit. Worth catching early — a gasket leak reaches the subfloor long before you see a puddle.

Cycles have become extremely long. Usually the heater failing, so the machine keeps extending the cycle waiting for a temperature it never reaches. That is compensation rather than a program fault, but the element still needs replacing.

There is a deep rumble that rises with spin speed. Drum bearings. On a European machine this is labour-heavy work, and it is where we will give an honest opinion rather than a quote.

If the dryer needs attention too, AEG dryer repair covers it.
