Possible Causes
Burnt-out flow-through heater element, Loose or corroded heater connectors, Broken wiring to heater on AEG dishwasher
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dishwasher and ensure it is cool before accessing the heater.
- Check connectors: Access the heater assembly (often attached to the circulation pump). Inspect and reseat the electrical connectors.
- Measure heater resistance (advanced): Use a multimeter to check continuity across the heater terminals. An infinite reading indicates a failed heater that must be replaced.
- Inspect wiring: Follow the heater wires back to the control board, checking for breaks or burn marks.
- Replace heater if faulty: Replacing the heater usually involves removing the dishwasher and partially disassembling the hydraulic system; if you are not experienced, use an AEG service technician.
