I have a VERY old AEG washing machine. It has developed a F7 error fault. It gets stuck on the main wash and doesn’t progress any further to complete the wash unless it is on the cold wool cycle. Any guidance/advice would be appreciated.
Many thanksHmm, all Zanussi based machines use E** for error codes but E7* codes all relate to heater circuits, specifically the thermistor. The only way to get the full E** code is to enter diagnostic mode. Unfortunately there are many different display/control panel set ups on these machines and around 7 or 8 different ways to access the diagnostics. A picture of the control panel might help if you can post a link to one.
DO you have a mobile or email that I can send a photo to? The file size is too big to upload on here.
Thank youOk, try this, turn rotary selector switch to OFF. Press and hold the top two left hand buttons in and switch the knob one position clockwise. That should enter diagnostics mode. Slowly turn knob clockwise one click at a time until a three digit code E** is displayed, that is the full error code. To exit diagnostics turn off, on, off.
OK… I switched the rotary selector to ‘off” and pressed and held the top 2 (of the 4 buttons on the left hand side) and the display showed ‘178’ instead of the usual ‘105’ minutes remaining. Then I tried slowly turning the rotary selector clockwise but the display reverted back to showing the usual remaining time numbers. What do you make of this? Thanks for all of your help so far, very much appreciated! 🙂
I am on the tram coming home from Old Trafford atm . Did you keep the two buttons held in whilst you turned the knob ?
Ok, I tried again, holding the 2 buttons pressed while turning clockwise very slowly… this is the result, showing the normal number followed by the number shown doing this:
105/178
105/158
90/163
86/159
84/157
82/15574/147
73/146
71/144
70/14364/139
62/137
60/34
58/32
56/3014/-

1/-You don’t need to keep the buttons pressed all the way through, just for a couple of seconds as you turn the knob. Even though there are over 20 different display/control panel setups is doesn’t actually show one like yours with the dispenser drawer to the right so the instructions I have given are for the nearest alternative.
Is one of the buttons labelled Start/Pause. If it is not one of the top two far left vertical buttons then locate the START button and press and hold this and any other option button whilst turning the knob one click clockwise then release buttons and see if that gets you into diagnostics mode.
Nope, that just made the machine start a wash no matter which of the other buttons was also held in at the same time 🙂
The only thing I can suggest now is to inspect the heater, heater thermistor and connected wiring for breaks, resistance, continuity and insulation. It looks like yours will have the heater with the thermistor combined.
