Dishwasher does not take in enough water, cycle is very short or stops with i11 displayed.

Safety first: Disconnect power and close the water tap before working on the appliance.

• Clean inlet filters: Remove the inlet hose from the tap and from the dishwasher. Take out the mesh filters at both ends and clean thoroughly under running water.
• Check hose routing: Ensure the Aquacontrol hose is not kinked behind the cabinet or crushed by the dishwasher feet.
• Run a test cycle: Reconnect everything, open the tap fully, and run a quick program. Listen for steady filling; if the machine fills in short bursts or stops early, the flow meter or pressure sensor may be misreading.
• Inspect side water matrix (if fitted): On many AEG models, a plastic water matrix on the left side controls filling. If you see heavy limescale or sludge through the side panel, it may be restricted and require cleaning or replacement.
• Call a professional if needed: Replacing the flow meter or pressure sensor involves removing side panels and working near live wiring; use an AEG-authorized technician if unsure.
