How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before testing components.

Descale heater: If limescale is heavy in your area, remove the AEG heater and descale or replace it. Thick scale insulates the element.
Test heater resistance: Compare measured resistance to the rated wattage. Significant deviation suggests replacement.
Check NTC: Verify that the NTC resistance changes smoothly with temperature. Replace if readings are erratic.

If components test correctly, a firmware or PCB issue may be present and should be evaluated by an AEG technician.
