What E00 actually means
E00 isn't a fault at all — it's the machine telling you no error is stored in its memory.
On AEG's Electrolux-group control boards, E00 (sometimes shown as E0) is the "no alarm" reading. It's what the display gives you when you enter the diagnostic or error-readout mode and there is nothing logged, or after a stored fault has been cleared. If you weren't deliberately reading the machine's memory, it usually means the drum lamp or the button combination you pressed has put the control into its readout mode rather than that anything has gone wrong.
What E00 looks like on a AEG washer dryer
Most people find this page having searched for what the machine is doing rather than the code itself. On a AEG washer dryer, E00 usually shows up as one or more of these:
- Machine not draining
- Water left in the drum at the end of the cycle
- Stops mid-cycle full of water
- Standing water in the bottom
- No function at all
- Dead — nothing lights up
- Lights flashing and nothing happening
- Programme won't start
Recognise any of those? That is this fault, and the rest of this page explains what causes it and what you can check yourself.
What usually causes it
- The machine has been put into diagnostic or error-readout mode and has no fault to report
- A previous error code has been cleared and the board is confirming the memory is now empty
- Buttons pressed in a particular combination during a cycle, tripping the readout display
What you can safely check yourself
Work through these in order. Anything beyond this — panels off, testing parts, anything to do with the wiring — is an engineer's job, and not one to attempt with the machine plugged in.
- Turn the programme dial to the off position, then switch the machine off at the wall for a minute to take it out of the readout mode
- Turn it back on, select a normal wash and check it runs through as usual

What does E00 mean on a AEG washer dryer?
E00 isn't a fault at all — it's the machine telling you no error is stored in its memory. On AEG's Electrolux-group control boards, E00 (sometimes shown as E0) is the "no alarm" reading.

Can I fix AEG E00 myself?
There are 2 checks you can safely do yourself first.
- Turn the programme dial to the off position, then switch the machine off at the wall for a minute to take it out of the readout mode.
- Turn it back on, select a normal wash and check it runs through as usual.
This often clears with those checks, and rarely needs an engineer.
