AEG Lavamat 12710 Front Load Washer / Dryer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Hi Brooks, did you solve this? I have same issue

You have a leak in the machine and water is accumulating in the base pan. Most likely this leak is a manufacturing issue or a transportation issue. Check to see where the leak is coming from under the machine. If in warranty call the dealer.

If you go to www.aeg.co.uk and look under "service and support" you will see a box to insert your model number. I've put your model in and there's service manuals in several languages. Happy hunting.

drain filter, overdosing of detergent or leaks water on the base. Dado

Maybe a bit late by now noting your question date.. If you have L & N from supply through suppressor to pcb it could be board u/s but well worth checking for low insulation on elements as oddly this can cause the display not to light!. If you don't have a suitable meter disconnect all wires to elements and see if it works.

I have plastic welded my son's hockey skate with an automotive bumper cover welder and surprisingly it has held up-its basicly like a soldiering iron with a dime size foot on it-it came with a universal welding sticks that have kevlar fibers in it-I would back up the repair area with 3m aluminum repair tape and fill in your hole-cheers Denyy

test the following steps and fix it. God bless youIf the washer won't start, the user control and display board may be defective. Check for power to the washer first.If the washer won't start the timer might be defective. This part is often misdiagnosed, check other components before replacing this timer.If the washer won't start the line fuse might have blown.If the washer won't start the thermal fuse may have blown. It can be tested for continuity. Watch our fuse testing video for more information.If the washer won't start the line fuse might have blown, or the line fuse holder might be damaged and need to be replaced.If the washer won't start the main control board might be defective. This is not common. Check other parts and causes first.If the washer won't start the lid switch assembly might be defective. This is a very common problem. The lid switch assembly can fail either mechanically or electrically. Test any electrical switches with an Ohm meter for continuity. The switches should have continuity according to their designIf the washer won't start the door lock assembly should be checked. The door lock can fail either mechanically or electrically. Test any switches on the door lock with an Ohm meter. The switches should have continuity according to their design.If the washer won't start check to see if there is power at the electrical outlet which the washer is plugged into. Plug a lamp or radio into the outlet to check it. If the outlet is dead, check the circuit breakers or fuses for the home.If the washer won't start, check to be sure there is power to the electrical outlet for the home. If that is OK, the power cord itself might be defective. This is rare. You can check the power cord with an Ohm meter for continuity.

You will need to change the carbon brushes in the motor. Tip machine 45 deg backwards you might need someone to hold for you and look at motor underneath you will see 2 black carbon brushes remove these and replace if worn then retry machine also make sure the wires to the motor are ok.

maybe too many cloths at one time or maybe the vent is clogged that lets the air outside or you need to clean the lint trap.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

Here are my complete and generic guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!). These panels are either held on by (plasic) screws or will just pull off. Most filters are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play.

REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT (alternatively use a wet vac as sensibly suggested by VinnyB1234!)
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. Using something suitable like a glove see if it is easy to briefly slow the motor down. If it is easy then the motor is malfunctioning.

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

Hi, try this and let me know what happens. Turn the knob to the off position. Then press and hold the start/pause button and the button on the left of it, with them 2 held in turn the knob 1 click clockwise. Keep the buttons pressed in till the lights start to flash then let go. Know turn the knob clockwise all the way round to the off position 1 click at a time. Then turn the knob ON THEN OFF AGAIN.
Retry the washer again and see what happens now.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
This is symptomatic of a malfunctioning water control valve- the hot water one, if the washer is hot and cold fill, and the cold one if it is just cold fill! To find out which it is in the case of hot and cold fill turn the cold tap/faucet off overnight and see if water has come in or not. that will tell you. Also to check that it is just a physical problem and not a control board problem switch the machine off at the supply. If it still does it (from whichever supply) it is that valve which is not closing correctly ;-0
If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
If it carries out the wash cycle OK I would gently suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters and many machines will not even go to spin or release the door lock if there is any water still left inside.

If these actions have not cured the problem, it could be the control board OR the main motor. Motors will show weaknesses when commanded to spin.

If this has assisted you please score accordingly.

Hi,
EFO error is a water leakage error.You need to call for service.
Thank you

You have a syphon - the waste pipe is probably too low and the end sits in water in the drain, meaning the water runs through the machine and out the waste.

have youlooked in your manual it should have some codes in trouble shooting that will help you sort out the problem. hope this helps.

Yes, the most likely reason is that the pipe has a blockage, the bore isn't large enough, you have an airlock with water in it, or the fall into the waste pipe isn't steep enough. When it senses any back pressure it faults. ..

E21 means a blockage in the drain pump. I would check the impeller spins freely. A coin from a pocket can cause that error as it gets stuck in the impeller.
