AEG L16830 Drain Pump Problems

[dohbuoy]

Keep getting E20 error codes. Clean out the drain trap and it works a while and then stops again. Want to get into the machine so that I can give the pump a proper clean, look for obstructions and maybe replace the pump.

Problem is I cannot work out how to get the machine casing off! There are two folded pieces of steel that make the case. How do I most easily get to the drain pump?

Thanks for any help/suggestions.

Tilt it back against a handy wall (or robust fitted-unit) …make sure it has weight against the wall( that is, it won’t topple back forward if you touch it!)

on the floor, with a torch….follow the drain-hose from sink to pump 🙂

If the case is a “u” shape(back or front and two half-sides)…usually theres little blastic buttons at the bottom ,near the joint….prise them out, remove hidden screws beneath……top normally held with a bracket/screw, each back corner….remove, slide top off locating pegs/forks…..find screws on top edge of casing-half.

UNPLUG FIRST!!!! SWITCHING-OFF IS NOT SAFE
