Displaying EFO, water leaking - AEG Lavamat 88840 Front Load Washer

you need to change the bearings.

Its an anti flood warning. generally it means something has leaked into the cabinet and water has triggered the safety float on the floor of the cabinet. You will probably find a small leak somewhere which has allowed water to gather under the machine. IE/ Hose, front gasket, pump etc.. If you tip the machine backwards to drain all the water out of the base, it will probably work until the safety switch triggers again. Locate and fix the leak before it gets worse and causes some damage.

Another solution can be a waternleak that's operated the emergency cutout...if this machine has one (and machines equipped to report EF0 usually do). There may be a container to collected leaked water in the base of the machine and it can be emptied by severely tilting the machine to let the water in it get out.
It's difficult to get at the inside of the container to see what's in it so this procedure's just to find if that's the problem or not.
Of course, if this is the cause of the problem it will re-occur after a while until the leak is fixed.
Good luck!

You may have had an overspill of water into the float chamber.
If you take the back off try removing the water that is actuating the float switch.
Then check if the float is working correctly.

Reset the machine and try again.
Make sure there are no leaks.
Hope this helps.. Good luck! :)

EFO refers to a clog in the filter at the pump. you may have a clog. since you give no model# there is no way for me to give you specific procedure on how to do this.

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

you just need to mop up the water inside the cabinet to allow the float switch in the base to reset.check there is nothing stopping the float returning to the floor. a small leak from the door seal can cause enough of a leak to trip it . clean the door glass and seal to stop this. or change the door seal.

Its not EFO its EF0 .Theremust be some thing blocking the pump .For example socks,underwear etc. The water was not cycling through properly. Cleaned it out and everything works fine.Use proper detergent mentioned for your model because even SUD formation can cause this error.
