Possible Causes

Blocked filter system, Partially clogged drain hose, Incorrect drain hose installation height, Weak drain pump on AEG dishwasher

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before working on the drain system.

  • Clean filters and sump: Remove and clean all filters. Check the sump for debris.
  • Check drain hose routing: Ensure the hose rises to the correct height (usually 40–85 cm) and is not looped on the floor, which can cause siphoning issues.
  • Inspect sink connection: Remove the hose from the sink trap spigot and check for blockages. Clean if necessary.
  • Test drain function: Run a drain-only or cancel cycle and observe the water level. If water remains and the pump sounds weak, consider replacing the drain pump.
