AEG Dishwasher Error Code 30

Understanding and Fixing AEG Dishwasher Error Code 30

If you’re here, chances are your AEG dishwasher isn’t running as smoothly as you’d like, and you’ve encountered the dreaded Error Code 30. Don’t worry, though-an error message is frustrating, and we will explain step by step what is going on with this guide and how to resolve it.

What Does Error Code 30 Mean?

Error Code 30 on an AEG dishwasher indicates that the anti-flood system of the machine has been turned on. It is so designed to prevent any leakage of water in your home, and this error generally indicates that there is water in the bottom of the machine where it should not be.

Some of the causes behind this may differ, but the frequent culprits are:

  • A leak within the dishwasher or in its connections
  • A clogged or jammed drain hose
  • Too much foam generated due to wrong type of detergent
  • Damaged seal or a failed component of the appliance

Now that you have come to know what Error 30 indicates, here’s how you can go for troubleshooting and (hopefully) fixing it.

How to Fix AEG Dishwasher Error Code 30

Step 1: Switch Off the Dishwasher and Unplug It

Safety first: for any troubleshooting or handling of any issues with your dishwasher, ensure that the device is always disconnected from the power supply.

Step 2: Check for Visible Leaks

  • Check both the outside and inside of the dishwasher for evidence of water pooling on the floor or in the inside cavity.
  • Check the connections between the dishwasher and the water supply, the drain hose, for loose connectors that may be causing leaks in the system.

Tip: If you find a puddle under the front of the dishwasher, there’s a good chance that the anti-flood system is working correctly because water has collected in the bottom tray.

Step 3: Drain Base

You will have to set the dishwasher slightly backward; this is where the water might have collected in the base tray of the dishwasher. Place a towel or shallow container near the back of the machine for catching the water. Gently tilt the dishwasher further to allow it to drain out completely. Once drained, the area should be dry to reset the anti-flood system.

Step 4: Inspect the Drain Hose for Clogs

A clogged or kinked drain hose might be one more reason for backflow in water at an appliance. The following outlines the steps to inspect it:

  • Disconnect the drain hose from where it connects with your sink or water outlet.
  • Look for easy-to-see signs of obstruction or clog. A garden hose or even a small plumber’s snake comes quite handy when any blockage has to be eliminated.
  • Reattach the hose securely, making sure that it is not kinked or bent.

Step 5: Check the Filter of the Dishwasher

Clogged filters can cause problems in drainage, leading to water accumulation inside the machine.

  • The filter is usually located at the bottom of the dishwasher; remove it according to your user manual.
  • Then flush it under running water, brushing it with a soft brush where required.
  • After cleaning, secure the filter correctly and run your dishwasher again.

Step 6: Check the Dishwasher

Now, after addressing leaks, blockages, or accumulated water, reconnect the dishwasher and try a short run with no detergent and no dishes in it.

  • If Error Code 30 disappears and the dishwasher functions normally, congratulations – the issue is resolved!
  • If the error persists, there may be a deeper issue at play, such as a faulty float switch, pump, or seal.

When to Call a Professional

Whereas several causes of Error Code 30 can be fixed by mere DIYs, some other problems do require expertise. If the above troubleshooting has been tried and the error persists, it is time to consult with a qualified technician. This is especially necessary in case internal parts or electrical repairs are involved.

Preventing Error Code 30 in the Future

Preventing Error Code 30 in the future can be helped with some useful tips:

  • Regular Maintenance: The filter and spray arms should be cleaned on a monthly basis to avoid buildup that might interfere with draining.
  • Use Appropriate Detergents: Use only dishwasher-specific detergents, since using others can lead to heavy foaming.
  • Inspect Hoses: Inlet and drain hoses should be periodically checked for wear or damage. Faulty hoses must be replaced immediately.
  • Avoid Overloading: Overloading can put undue stress on several parts, leading to leakage.

Conclusion

There is no need to panic when one encounters Error Code 30 on an AEG dishwasher. Provided the problem has been identified, diagnosed properly, and then worked out with the use of the above easy steps, then one is on the right track in solving the issue and getting the dishwasher up and running.
