Cancelling the error code on an AEG washing machine

Simply cancelling an error code will only see it return if there’s a fault that hasn’t been fixed. However, once fixed, some AEG washing machines apparently still display the error code until reset.

Looking into this for a Washerhelp user recently I found that you should try the following -

With the switch in the off position, hold in the Pre wash & soak button and then turn the rotary knob to gentle (or short) spin.

His reply was “.. the instructions you gave were correct, but to reset my machine I had to hold the same 2 buttons but turn the rotary knob clockwise to the Energy Saving position”.

    My AEG washine machine displayed the error code C9. I changed the motor brushes and reset the error code. It worked fine untill the last 5 minutes of the cycle and then the error code C9 flashed up again. Any idears.

    Neil: If the error code was successfully cleared but returned at the end of the wash, the main implication is that the fault was fixed but broke down again at the end of the wash.

    Hello John. The only AEG washing machine reset procedure I have is as described in the article. I have amended the wording slightly as I think you may have to carry out the procedure with the on off switch off.

    Hi, got C9 error code on our machine, AEG ÖKO-LAVAMAT 76660 UPDATE. The repair guy told us to check;
    - Short Circuit in the engine
    - Short Circuit in the speed governor
    - Speed governor detached from uneven runs, and needing regluing.
    - Coal brushes requiring replacement

    Anyway for that price we thought we’d check ourselves first, so we opened it up and some connectors had gotten loose just behing the control knob. Resecuring got us into the C9 error still, at which point we got the idea to try to reset the machine. Thanks to this post we managed to reset it by following the procedure described in the original post.
