AEG oko lavamat washer, error F9

Martin, thanks for the prompt response. I have found the answer and the problem. The F9 code refers to MOTOR or MOTOR TACHO FAILURE, usually brushes and in my case it was.
For reference to clear the error: whilst holding the pre wash and the short wash buttons in together turn the control knob from off to gentle spin, the clears the error and runs a LED test.
Again, many thans, much appreciated.

Re: AEG oko lavamat washer, error F9

I have exactly the same problem (F9 and same cobination of lights) as Alex with my Lavamat 6955 (Also noticed same post on another forum! 🙂

I can’t for the life of me get the machine to reset and door open to get clothes out following Alex’s instructions.
Can anyone help? Wife and 3 kids think it is a conspiracy as the service people are taking a week to turn up.

Also is it possible to see if the brushes are worn – by a layman – and be replaced?

Martin,
Thanks very mush for your quick post.
It took the motor off a moment ago and removed the brushes – surprisingly easy as you say.
Certainly one of the brushes appears to have very little left. The other appears to have a little spring in it so I guess some left.
I have an engineer coming on Wed but was hoping to get it fixed more quickly.
Still……
Am I able to get a sameday delivery of these brushes from anywhere and therefore fix it on Monday?

And most importantly…………how can I open the door? I have tried turning the switch to gentle rinse while holding the quick wash and pre-wash buttons but with no joy. Any help before the mould starts growing on the babies clothes?

Thanks very much

Martin,
Thanks very much again.
Simple! definitely! Even for a newbie like me ❗

No worries with the water….. it had already emptied.
Just very smelly….. 😥

Just my final question……….
I looked in the shop on this website and it doesn’t have any brushes for AEG.
Am I really unlikely to get new ones from any where quickly?
The only place I have found is Domestic Appliances.co.uk.

However I can’t tell which of the brushes is the right one.
Clues gratefully received…..

Thanks
P.S. Looks like you’ve spent a lot of time, money and energy on the radio gear 😀

Thanks for your reply Dave.
I actually tried to track down the part in my local area but have run out of time. I was told AEG don’t list brushes as a separate orderable item for my serial number machine – 605.649 123
By the time I’d have got around to taking the photo and uploading I’d have lost more time so……..

The engineer is here today. I’ll see how it goes. Rumour has it they may insist I change the whole motor – if so I’ll be back following up your request, thanks!
