AEG Dishwasher Keeps Filling: Shut Off Water and Stop Testing

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

1. Check 1

   Close the dishwasher's water tap immediately. If the floor or power connection is wet, do not reach behind the appliance; if the plug or switch is dry and safely accessible, switch the dishwasher off and unplug it.

   Expected result: Water stops when the tap is closed, or water continues because the tap cannot be reached or the appliance connection is unsafe to access.

   Next step: Keep the water supply closed and request authorized service. Do not restart the dishwasher or restore water for a test cycle.

   Why this matters

   Why: Closing the tap limits flooding. An inaccessible or wet connection is a safety boundary, not a reason to move or open the dishwasher.

2. Check 2

   From outside the appliance, note whether filling occurred only during a selected programme, continued after the controls were stopped, or occurred while the dishwasher was switched off. Record the tub level and any visible water on the floor without opening panels.

   Expected result: Water enters while the dishwasher is off, fills only during a programme, or a leak is visible at the door, hose, or floor.

   Next step: Treat any filling while off or any active leak as a stop-use condition. Keep the tap closed and give service the exact timing and visible location.

   Why this matters

   Why: AEG has a separate support path for water entering while switched off; programme-only overfill, a door leak, and base water can require different model-specific diagnosis.

3. Check 3

   Only from a dry, accessible position, look for a kinked, crushed, split, or visibly disconnected inlet or drain hose, wet connection, damaged seal, or water escaping at the door. Do not pull out an integrated dishwasher or remove a hose under pressure.

   Expected result: A visible hose or seal problem is present, or all accessible connections appear dry and intact.

   Next step: Leave the water closed and arrange service for any damage or persistent filling. Do not attempt an internal repair or reconnect a pressurized hose.

   Why this matters

   Why: AEG identifies hose kinks, disconnections, split seals, and door-seal problems as possible leak contributors. A clear external view does not rule out an internal base leak or water-level fault.

4. Check 4

   Record the complete display code or warning-light pattern, plus the model number, PNC, serial number, and whether the dishwasher is integrated or freestanding. Use the matching AEG manual or troubleshooting article rather than a code from another appliance family.

   Expected result: The display shows i30, iF0/iFo/iF1, i10/i11, another code, or no code; the model and identification data are available or missing.

   Next step: Provide the recorded information to AEG service while the tap remains closed. Do not use a generic reset to clear a continuous-fill condition.

   Why this matters

   Why: AEG associates different code families with leak/anti-flood, water-level, and water-inlet conditions. Without the exact code and model, no internal component can be identified safely.

5. Check 5

   Keep the dishwasher out of use and request an authorized AEG service visit if water enters while off, the code returns, water is visible in or under the appliance, or the issue would require access to the base, inlet valve, pump, pressure sensor, or wiring.

   Expected result: Continuous filling persists after isolation, a leak or anti-flood condition is suspected, or safe external checks cannot explain the behavior.

   Next step: Leave the water tap closed and power disconnected when safe, protect the floor, and give the technician the model, PNC, code, timing, and visible-water observations.

   Why this matters

   Why: AEG's official continuous-fill guidance directs the owner to service; an internal leak or water-level fault cannot be confirmed from the symptom alone.
