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

Possible Causes

Worn or sticking motor direction relay on PCB, Pitted relay contacts, Overheated PCB around relay, Excessive motor current draw

Safety: Disconnect mains power before accessing the control board.

Check motor load: Ensure the drum turns freely by hand and that bearings are not seized, which can overload the relay.
Inspect PCB relays: On the AEG control board, locate the motor relays. Look for discoloration or heat damage.
Replace PCB or relay: In most cases, the entire PCB is replaced. Skilled technicians may replace the individual relay.

Because this involves soldering and mains circuits, professional repair is advised.
