AEG Favorit FAV648000 Lack of water pressure?

[Mustang]

Hello

I’ve got a slimline Aeg 64800 dishwasher. It is rarely used, but when I do use it, it’s very useful.

Recently, it stopped working.

At start of programme, it empties all water from inside, as expected.

It then fills up with water to normal levels.

The wash pump then starts up, and I can see the rotor spinning. However, it doesn’t manage to push the water into the spinner arms and hence nothing cleans. Eventually, an AL5 error is shown.

I’ve opened everything up, and as it’s rarely used, is clean as a whistle inside. I’ve checked most of the interior pipes and cant see any blockage. I’ve checked the filter in the inlet tube at the tao, and that’s clean. There is no leaking into the base, and the float switch is not being triggered.

I’ve now run out of ideas as to what it could be and hope that someone here could give me a push in the right direction.

AL5 is a water fill time-out error and/or a water level sensor error.

Hi Martin. Yes, but the machine seems to fill correctly. When I open it up to check how much water is in it after it fills, the level is just below the top of the filter at the base of the washer. It then starts to try pumping the water into the spinner arms, and that’s where it doesn’t work. The pump works, but no water. It’s almost as if it hasn’t got enough power to pump it around. There isn’t any blockage in the spinner arms or the pipes to the arms, so it must be something else. Any ideas what I could check next?
