Symptom / Description

FAULT

AEG Favorit / ProClean / ComfortLift Series: Siphon pressure sensor alarm i22; analog sensor detects back-pressure after drain cycle completes.

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

On AEG (AEG Favorit / ProClean / ComfortLift Series) models: Kitchen sink siphon spigot not drilled out on new installation, grease blockage in drain hose non-return flap, or restricted wall pipe.

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED
1Inspect connection spigot under kitchen sink (ensure plastic membrane was drilled out). Clean rubber non-return flap in sump outlet. 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: Cut 230V mains power before accessing the upper chassis or pressure switch terminals.
  • !Drain appliance tub completely before disconnecting pressure switch sensing hoses.
  • !Never blow high-pressure compressed air into electronic analog pressure sensors: internal diaphragms will rupture!
3. Preliminary Mechanical & Visual Checks
  • Disconnect the silicone pressure tube from the lower air trap and inspect for soap sludge, lint, or water blockage.
  • Inspect the flexible rubber hose along its entire length for pinholes, cracks, or loose clamp fit.
  • Thoroughly flush the lower compression chamber (air dome) with hot water to dissolve detergent buildup.
Perform these diagnostic steps before triggering AI Deep Search or replacing boards.Certified Workshop Routine
