Hi, I have an AEG washing machine that has bounced back on me. I sold it as a re-con machine a few weeks back and the customer has reported it’s taking 3 hours on a 40o wash. I checked it over before it went out of course, – the only problem I could find was with the carbon brushes which had worn out. I tested it multiple times before it went and it was fine. The customer it came from also told me it was taking 3 hours on a 40o wash so Im wandering if there is a fault with the PCB. Don’t really want to hit the expense of a new PCB, I would rather sort her a different machine out but I feel she likes the machine or would if it was working properly… However I have a few square pcb’s that I have salvaged from various aeg/zanussi machines. Would be very interested to know if they can be re-configured (without a laptop) to the problematic machine I need to sort out.
Any feedback on this would be highly appreciated!
Thanks,

Should be able to on some of the older machines but depends on board fitted and would need product no to start with
Re: AEG module’s – can they be re-programmed to a different
Id go and check the heater and mabe the fill rate of the machine. I’ve never heard of being able to re-programme the pcb’s but you never know someone may know better that me.
Re: AEG module’s – can they be re-programmed to a different
Most new ones are programmeable via SideKick diagnostic software that Service Force engineers use, it requires connection to a laptop however. Older ones you have to enter a numerical code.
As for the 3 hour programme, apart from the worn brushes you mentioned i’d be looking at it having a blocked sump hose or filter, heater also or inlet valve filters gunged up, common one is that it was syphoning on the second fill. Did you check if theres any fault code registered by going into diagnostics?
Re: AEG module’s – can they be re-programmed to a different
No :/ Not done any of that yet.. She’s getting a loan machine tomorrow so it’s coming into the workshop.. Think it’s diagnostics would be a good place to start with it tho. There complicated things these aeg’s…
Re: AEG module’s – can they be re-programmed to a different
I would test it where it is as Seamy said it could be syphoning….
Re: AEG module’s – can they be re-programmed to a different
I thought the drain outlet system with the aeg was anti syphon tho? Also it would seem this fault was happening at it’s previous address..
Re: AEG module’s – can they be re-programmed to a different
Would just like to say, I havn’t been out to see the machine yet.. The brushes were down before I sold it. Didnt want anyone to think I had sold a recon machine without checking the c/b’s 🙂
Re: AEG module’s – can they be re-programmed to a different
how long should a 40*c cotton wash be tho? what model was the aeg, as ive had a few people complain about the lenght of a cotton wash on recent lux jobbies. iirc with some of the zwf1211s if you look in the book lux con you into thinking a eco40 main wash is only 180 minutes… thats 3 hours 🙂
Re: AEG module’s – can they be re-programmed to a different
Looks like I have sorted this one out! It turned out to be the pcb. After looking into the diagnostics and actually testing it, I noticed the machine seemed to be failing on heat. The heater tested perfect with a mega, changed it anyway just in case it was faulting after a while. I removed the module, looked at the pcb and the heater relay was very badly sooted on its contacts. Took the cover off the relay and cleaned the contacts up with some fine wet n dry paper and sprayed switch cleaner on them. Thought all would be good so re-fitted the pcb, then couldn’t get it to start. It did the few second pump out and as it should but failed to fill. It made the start/pause light come on. Had a similar fault before so decided it was a pcb problem. Got my hands on the same module free of charge 🙂 from a different AEG machine (didn’t realize there were so many versions of them) re-configured it via the binary configuration (which I had to read off the old pcb because the intended sticker that should have been on the module housing giving the config code was missing – and it’s working a treat!
Thanks for you feedback guys,
Most grateful for your help & advice!
Rob.
