Understand and Fix AEG Dishwasher Fault Code 1H
There is nothing quite as frustrating as seeing an unfamiliar error code staring back at you from your appliance, especially when it’s a trusted workhorse designed to lighten your workload. If your AEG dishwasher flashes the error code 1H, there is no need to panic because it is generally quite easy to resolve and does not usually indicate any serious problem. This blog will explain what the code means, why it appears, and-most importantly-how to fix it.
What Does the AEG Dishwasher Error Code 1H Mean?
Error code 1H on an AEG dishwasher is actually not an error but a time delay indicator. AEG dishwashers have a useful function known as the delay start function, which enables you to set the dishwasher to start its cycle after some time. This is great if you want to take advantage of lower electricity rates or want it to run during your sleep.
Every time you see the 1H code, that just means your dishwasher is programmed to start in one hour. You may also see 2H, 3H, and so on and so forth, depending on how much time you’ve delayed the starting of the machine.
Why Does the 1H Code Appear?
The following are some of the possible reasons why you get the 1H code on your dishwasher’s display:
Accidental Input: You might have hit the delay start function while playing with buttons or moving around the dishwasher controls. Pre-planned Delay: If you have used the delay start feature but forgotten, then the 1H code is a countdown for you. Misconception: You may not know what the code means, hence thinking it’s an error.
The good news? This is not a fault with your dishwasher, so there’s no technical problem or repairs to concern yourself with.
How to Fix AEG Dishwasher Error Code 1H
Fortunately, it’s easy to clear the 1H code – or to change the delay start setting, whichever you prefer. Here’s what you need to do to have your dishwasher available when you need it:
1. Cancel the Delay Start Function
Step 1: On your dishwasher, find the delay start button. It is usually represented with a clock icon or labeled as “Delay Start.”
Step 2: Press this button continuously until “0H” shows up on the display or until the delay function is cleared.
Step 3: It should now be ready to immediately start once a new program has been selected and confirmed.
2. Starting of the Dishwasher Immediately
If one does not want any delay for the commencement:
Select the program of wash you want it to be; it may be “Eco” or “Quick Wash”. Press the start button to start the cycle immediately
3. How to Adjust the Timer
If you have set a delay deliberately but would want to change it:
Touch the delay start button to toggle through until you get the hours you want. Accept that, and it will start according to your newer schedule
How to Avoid Confusion in Future
To avoid inadvertently setting a delay start, or being baffled as to what it is for:
Refer to your model’s user manual for an explanation of its controls and symbols. Become familiar with the buttons so you won’t push one out of curiosity. If you share a household, make sure all people in the house know how the delay start feature works to avoid surprise codes.
Summary
The 1H code on your AEG dishwasher simply means that the Delayed Start function is turned on and the dishwasher itself is programmed to start in 1 hour. That is not an error; therefore, the solution consists in canceling the delay or changing the timer to what suits your schedule.
Master the features of your dishwasher, and you are bound to make use of every available option with minimal undue stress. If you’re still concerned or if you have any other error codes, please see your user manual or AEG’s customer support team for more detailed information.
