If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the carpet cleaner before opening the housing. Capacitors can retain charge; discharge safely if required.
- Check mains supply: Try a different outlet and avoid using long extension leads that may cause voltage drop.
- Inspect internal connectors: Open the unit and check all power connectors from the mains input to the PCB and from the PCB to motors and pumps. Reseat any loose plugs.
- Visual PCB inspection: Look for bulging or leaking electrolytic capacitors on the low-voltage section of the PCB. Replace the PCB if components are visibly damaged.
- Measure low-voltage rails: If you have the skills and tools, measure the DC output voltages from the power supply section and compare with AEG specifications. Unstable or low readings indicate a failing board.
Because this involves live-voltage electronics, non-professionals should seek help from an authorized AEG technician.
