AEG Extended Cycle / Heating or Sensor Issue

Dishwasher runs continuously without finishing, or cycle times are much longer than normal.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Water not heating properly, Faulty temperature sensor, Dirty turbidity sensor, Low inlet water temperature on AEG dishwasher

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing internal sensors.

Check water temperature: Run the hot tap near the dishwasher until hot before starting a cycle to reduce heating time.
Observe heating: During a hot program, the door should become warm. If not, suspect heater or NTC issues.
Clean sensors: Some AEG models have a turbidity sensor in the sump; clean the area around it to ensure accurate readings.
Component testing (advanced): Test heater and NTC sensor with a multimeter and replace if faulty.
