Symptom / Description

FAULT

AEG Favorit / ProClean / ComfortLift Series: Water drainage timeout alarm C2 (legacy DIVA alphanumeric); tub fails to drain water before next cycle step.

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

On AEG (AEG Favorit / ProClean / ComfortLift Series) models: Drain filter clogged by food residue, pump impeller jammed with broken glass, kinked drain hose, or drain pump motor open (160–220 Ω).

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED

1Remove sump filter assembly and clean thoroughly. Check that pump impeller rotates freely. Measure pump resistance (160–220 Ω). Rotate selector to 12 o'clock (OFF), press and hold Start/Pause and Exit simultaneously for 4 seconds until the diagnostic LED sequence resets error memory.

1. Pre-Intervention Electrical Safety Protocols

!Electrical Safety Protocol: Isolate 230V mains power before accessing the lower pump housing.
!Prepare a shallow basin and absorption towels: expect 3 to 10 liters of stagnant trapped water upon filter opening.
!Beware of sharp foreign objects (broken glass, needles, screws) trapped inside the impeller cavity.

3. Preliminary Mechanical & Visual Checks

Unscrew coin trap filter and clear all foreign debris (coins, hairpins, bra underwires).
Rotate pump impeller manually: synchronous magnetic rotors should snap cleanly in 90° intervals without jamming.
Check drain hose for kinks, blockages, or unpunched sink spigots; verify drain height is between 65cm and 100cm.

Frequently Asked Questions: AEG C2

FAQ TREE

What does error code C2 mean on a AEG appliance?

AEG error code C2 indicates: AEG Favorit / ProClean / ComfortLift Series: Water drainage timeout alarm C2 (legacy DIVA alphanumeric); tub fails to drain water before next cycle step..

What is the root cause of AEG error code C2?

The primary root cause for AEG code C2 is: On AEG (AEG Favorit / ProClean / ComfortLift Series) models: Drain filter clogged by food residue, pump impeller jammed with broken glass, kinked drain hose, or drain pump motor open (160–220 Ω)..

How do I fix or resolve AEG error code C2?

To resolve error code C2: Remove sump filter assembly and clean thoroughly. Check that pump impeller rotates freely. Measure pump resistance (160–220 Ω). Rotate selector to 12 o'clock (OFF), press and hold Start/Pause and Exit simultaneously for 4 seconds until the diagnostic LED sequence resets error memory.

Is it safe to clear AEG error code C2 by resetting power?

Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if AEG code C2 persists, the physical component causing On AEG (AEG Favorit / ProClean / ComfortLift Series) models: Drain filter clogged by food residue, pump impeller jammed with broken glass, kinked drain hose, or drain pump motor open (160–220 Ω). must be inspected or replaced.

How do I test electrical resistance for AEG code C2 using a multimeter?

Set a digital multimeter to ohms (Ω). Disconnect power and test Drain Pump Motor Stator Coils across Across pump motor spade terminals (L-N unclipped). Expected nominal reading is 160Ω–220Ω (Sync 230V) / 20Ω–45Ω (3-Phase BLDC). Tolerance: ±10% balance. Insulation resistance between coil and motor chassis must exceed 20MΩ..

What safety protocol must be followed before servicing AEG code C2?

Standard electrical safety protocol: 1. Disconnect 230V mains power before opening panels. 2. Verify zero voltage at test points. 3. Allow hot water or heating elements to cool below 30°C before handling.
