Aeg f55522vi0 dishwasher not stopping filling — i30

Use only checks that match the exact appliance or system and its official guide.

1. Check 1

   Close the dishwasher's water tap immediately. From a dry, safe position, isolate mains power at the accessible plug or household isolation point; do not reach through water or pull out the built-in dishwasher.

   Expected result: Water stops entering after the tap is closed, or water continues because the tap cannot be safely reached or the source is not under control; there may also be standing water, a pump hum, a trip, smoke, or a burning smell.

   Next step: Keep the tap closed and the appliance disconnected. If water is uncontrolled, the floor is wet near electrical equipment, or there is smoke, burning smell, or an electrical trip, keep clear and use qualified emergency, electrical, or appliance help.

   Why this matters

   Why: AEG treats i30 as a possible water-in-base and anti-flood condition, and separately warns that a dishwasher filling while turned off can cause flooding and should not be used. The immediate priority is stopping water and electrical exposure, not identifying a part.

2. Check 2

   Without restarting the machine, record the complete display as i30 or another exact sequence, any three-beep or three-flash pattern, whether the drain pump was humming continuously, and whether the filling was observed during a programme or after the controls were stopped.

   Expected result: The display is i30, the code is partial or uncertain, the pump is continuously running, or water was still entering after the programme was stopped or the appliance appeared off.

   Next step: Send the exact sequence and timing to authorised AEG service. Do not clear the code by tipping the unit, cycling power repeatedly, opening the cabinet, or running another programme.

   Why this matters

   Why: AEG associates i30 with leak detection and anti-flood protection, while filling in the off state is a separate service condition. These observations narrow the handoff, but none proves an inlet valve, float, pressure sensor, pump, or electronic-control failure.

3. Check 3

   From outside the appliance and only after the water tap is closed, inspect the dry-visible floor, lower door edge, sink area, and accessible hose ends for water, foam, wet trails, kinks, or a visibly loose connection; do not pull out the dishwasher or loosen a hidden fitting.

   Expected result: Water or foam is at the door or floor, a visible hose or seal is wet or damaged, the sink area shows a backflow clue, or the exterior looks dry despite the i30 event.

   Next step: Keep the tap closed. Photograph only what is safely visible and give it to the technician; do not pull out an integrated appliance, reach into standing water, or attempt a hidden hose or seal repair.

   Why this matters

   Why: AEG lists levelling, built-in door-panel installation, visible pipe problems, spray-arm deflection, foam, and a dirty or damaged door gasket as possible leak contributors. A dry exterior does not rule out water in the base or an internal leak.

4. Check 4

   With power isolated and the tap closed, look through the open door only if there is no standing water or other hazard, and note visible foam, a large item that could deflect a spray jet, an obstructed spray arm, or contamination at the filter and sump; do not dismantle the filter area or run a test cycle.

   Expected result: Foam is present, a large item blocked or deflected a spray arm, the accessible filter or sump is visibly dirty, or none of these is present.

   Next step: Leave the appliance off with the water tap closed. If the exact manual permits a simple accessible cleaning, follow only that manual; otherwise provide the observation to service. Do not add chemicals, bypass anti-flood protection, or run the machine to see whether i30 clears.

   Why this matters

   Why: AEG says excessive foam and spray-arm obstruction can trigger or contribute to i30 by directing water toward a seal area. These are possible contributors, not evidence that the continuous-fill symptom is resolved or that an internal leak is absent.

5. Check 5

   Photograph the AEG rating plate and record the full model, PNC, serial number, market, programme, and when the filling began; compare the PNC with AEG's listed F55522VI0 variants rather than relying on the model string alone.

   Expected result: The rating plate identifies one of the listed PNC versions, a different PNC, or cannot be read safely without moving the appliance.

   Next step: Give the plate photo and complete event history to an authorised service centre. If the plate cannot be safely accessed, do not move the dishwasher just to obtain it; report that limitation.

   Why this matters

   Why: AEG lists four PNC versions under F55522VI0, and the PNC is the model-specific identifier used to obtain the correct documentation and parts view. A model-family match alone does not establish compatibility or a repair diagnosis.
