AEG AEG electronic gas hobs fault codes
The only gas hobs in this research with a display and published numeric codes. They have a touch panel, so they can report an ignition failure as F or E6 rather than just failing to light.
Codes on the AEG electronic gas hobs follow the same AEG scheme as the rest of the range. Where a code behaves differently on this generation, the code page says so.
AEG fault codes
Every published AEG code. Open a code to see which models and years it applies to.
- FOn an induction hob this is about the pan, and AEG say whether it is steady or flashing changes the answer. Steady on a new hob means the installation.Usually simple to fix
- E4Overheating protection operating, not a breakdown. It clears itself as the hob cools, and AEG warn that the residual heat H may stay on afterwards.Usually simple to fix
- Burner will not stay alightThe flame dies when you let go of the knob. AEG give two causes and only one is yours: a dirty or misplaced burner cap, or a failed thermocouple.Get it checked
- E3The hob is seeing 400 volts. AEG name the person to ring and it is not their service line — it is the qualified electrician who installed it.Get it checked
- LThe panel is locked, and AEG publish two different locks that both show L. One re-arms itself every time you switch off, which is why hobs seem to lock themselves.Usually simple to fix
- E8Ask one question first: has this hob ever worked? A new install means a missing phase in the wiring. A hob that worked and stopped means the electronics.Get it checked
- Flashing between two numbersPower management, not a malfunction. Two zones on one side share a supply, and the display is showing you what you asked for and what you are getting.Usually simple to fix
- E9A fault in the electronic module. AEG give you one power cycle to try, and if it comes back it is a board rather than a glitch.Get it checked
- E7Two different faults on one code, split by how old the hob is. On a modern one it is the cooling fan and you can look at it; before 2010 it is the power board.Get it checked
- E6The hob is not getting the supply it was installed for. AEG give the cause as incorrect installation or insufficient power: induction hobs usually want a 16 amp supply where most homes have 13.Get it checked
- F gas hobOn an electronic gas hob, F or E6 means a burner could not be ignited. AEG publish a reset sequence with a three-second window, and two different versions of it.Get it checked
