Symptom / Description

FAULT

AEG Favorit / ProClean / ComfortLift Series: Lower spray arm rotation sensor missing pulses iA0; lower wash arm is stalled or rotation blocked.

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

On AEG (AEG Favorit / ProClean / ComfortLift Series) models: Tall plates, cutting boards, or cutlery handles protruding through basket blocking spray arm, missing arm magnet, or defective Hall sensor.

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED
1Rearrange lower basket loading so dishes do not contact spray arm. Inspect lower spray arm tip to confirm embedded magnet is present. 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
  • !High-Voltage Safety Protocol & DC Bus: Wait at least 5 minutes after power cutoff to allow inverter DC bus capacitors (380V DC) to bleed down.
  • !Verify 0V DC across inverter filter capacitors before unplugging motor harness connectors.
  • !Keep hands clear of drive belt and pulleys during any manual rotation tng.
3. Preliminary Mechanical & Visual Checks
  • Slip off drive belt and spin drum/motor shaft by hand to check for roaring or seized ball bearings.
  • For universal motors: verify carbon brushes have at least 10mm remaining length and smooth contact faces.
  • Inspect motor suspension rubber mounts and drive belt tension/groove profile.

Frequently Asked Questions: AEG IA0

FAQ TREE
What does error code IA0 mean on a AEG appliance?

AEG error code IA0 indicates: AEG Favorit / ProClean / ComfortLift Series: Lower spray arm rotation sensor missing pulses iA0; lower wash arm is stalled or rotation blocked..

What is the root cause of AEG error code IA0?

The primary root cause for AEG code IA0 is: On AEG (AEG Favorit / ProClean / ComfortLift Series) models: Tall plates, cutting boards, or cutlery handles protruding through basket blocking spray arm, missing arm magnet, or defective Hall sensor..

How do I fix or resolve AEG error code IA0?

To resolve error code IA0: Rearrange lower basket loading so dishes do not contact spray arm. Inspect lower spray arm tip to confirm embedded magnet is present. 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 IA0 by resetting power?

Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if AEG code IA0 persists, the physical component causing On AEG (AEG Favorit / ProClean / ComfortLift Series) models: Tall plates, cutting boards, or cutlery handles protruding through basket blocking spray arm, missing arm magnet, or defective Hall sensor. must be inspected or replaced.

How do I test electrical resistance for AEG code IA0 using a multimeter?

Set a digital multimeter to ohms (Ω). Disconnect power and test 3-Phase Motor Windings / Tacho Generator / Carbon Brushes across Across phase pins U-V, V-W, U-W on motor harness; across tacho pins. Expected nominal reading is 3Ω–6Ω (BLDC phase U-V-W) / 60Ω–180Ω (Tacho coil) / 1.5Ω–3.5Ω (Universal stator). Tolerance: BLDC phase winding values must be strictly balanced within ±0.3Ω. Hand rotation generates 1V–4V AC on tacho..

What safety protocol must be followed before servicing AEG code IA0?

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.
