Re: AEGL84749 – technician report
Fixed up a temporary mains feed at lunchtime today and set the machine running. At last, it works with no hanging on rinse. Seems the chappie from Swift was correct: the AEG doesn’t like being fed from a tank in the loft.
The article here explains the matter in some detail – and also gives some brand-specific information:

Thanks to all on this site that have shown interest in the problem and offered help.

Re: AEG L84749 3-way valve changed – still hangs on rinse
Changed both sensors this afternoon – analogic and 2-level fill sensor – to find the C1 problem remains. The machine still hangs part way through the fill stage at each rinse.
Is there anything else I can try? Is the fact that I’ve now changed the 3-way water valve and both sensors to no effect pointing to a more fundamental problem such as one with the mainboard? Is it possible the program is somehow corrupt and needs re-loading?
I am getting near to the end of my tether with this AEG which is in every other respect excellent.
Does it look as if I need to get an AEG person out to take a look?
Any advice gratefully received.
TIA.

Re: AEG L84749 3-way valve changed – still hangs on rinse
All –
Thanks for help thus far.
Both pressure sensors on order. Before I did so I removed the rubber tubes from the bottom of both sensors and blew hard down each, hoping that this simple act would clear them if there was a blockage preventing the sensors from operating properly. It’s almost needless to say that this failed to resolve the problem…
Will post again when I have fitted the new sensors.
Re: AEG L84749 3-way valve changed – still hangs on rinse
Thanks for help and guidance so far.
This morning I cleared the fault log and ‘reactivated’ the machine and set it going – only to find it still hangs at the point of rinse fill.
The manual suggests that after a C1 fault code one should check the water inlet, the water valve, the ‘screen’ and the pressure sensor.
Am I correct in assuming that the ‘screen’ is the filter in the inlet manifold?
The manual says ‘check’ the pressure sensor but doesn’t say how. it also shows an adjustment screw on the top of the sensor. If someone could shed light on what I ‘check’, I’ll be eternally grateful.
TIA.

Yes it does have a digital display. Let me have the ugly!

Use drain hose into washing up bowl to drain the machine by gravity, then tip it back to access pump and hoses. Power off, of course.

Can attest to this myself with our s/h AEG Lavamat. Went to check the drain filter before running for the first time and it simply would not withdraw. On hands and knees and with a bright torch I could see what looked like springy wire was stopping it from coming out. With a rather more forceful tug, out it came, together with the underwire from a bra cup!

Penguin45 –
3-way valve arrived an hour ago and is now fitted. Machine on a wash cycle and my fingers crossed that it doesn’t hang at the rinse stage anymore!
Many thanks for the advice and swift service.
Re: AEG Lavamat 72620 Error Codes
Can’t express enough admiration for this site, discovered by me on Sunday. The Gummerment talks the green talk (and really just taxes us more) but UK Whitegoods walks the talk and actually helps people keep household appliances going.
Thanks folks!

OK. Many thank for the help and advice. Much appreciated.

Re: AEG Lavamat 84749 C1 error code
Crikey! Much appreciate the incredibly rapid reponse.
Is this valve located at the top/rear of the machine behind the inlet and would it be a reasonably easy and simple DIY job to replace? (I did the pump twice on our last Phillips machine so am not too frightened by simple work).
TIA.
