AEG Lavamat 6250 - opening door?

HI Mike.
THIS IS ALL I COULD FIND OUT.
E40 relates to the door being left open when the programme is started, it maybe that the latch was not pushed over when the door was shut.
to solve the problem get another switch.
hope this helps you.
or read up some more at this link.
washing machine AEG Lavamat turbo 16800 it displays E40 Google Search

the two possibles are faulty door lock or water still in the machine. the error code should tell you which. go to AEG and their troubleshooting page will give you the codes.

you have a hole in the rubber boot seal and need to change it,also i've seen a buildup of detergent and hair stuck on the bottom side of the front door,when the door is closed the water was traveling down the pieces of hair and leaking through the bottom of the door,but if it's leaking under where the pump is and it's not the pump or hoses it's the boot seal.open the door and pull open the boot seal and run your fingers all around until you find the hole

When was the last time you changed the brushes on the motor? Check the brushes by removing the motor and then the brushes. The brushes should have at least 15mm left on them. Use compressed air and blow out the motor.

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

type in ' AEG lavamat 538 ' into the top right hand address bar on your pc and you will find links that will give you all the instruction manuals you need... AEG is at the lower end of the list....
Good luck

Hi again,

Any updates/development with your project?

For user's manual: Click on your brand name (below FIXYA) on this website, type in your model number & search. You will get a shortlist; click on your model, below the page u will get Manual/Guides. Click on the blue, & your manual is on line. Wait for at least 3 minutes after the wash is complete, to open the door; do not force the door. The door will not open immediately on the wash being completed.

It seems that your problem is with the lid switch and it should be replaced. The switch is inside the washing machine main housing near the door frame. You have to raise the top of the washer to get to the switch. Good luck!

open the filter door at bottom turn screw with coin , door should open ,
