AEG F113 fault codewhat it means and how to fix it
AEG name F113 as an example of a code you might see, then publish no meaning for it. It is one of roughly 74 oven F codes they list and do not define.
Take care
What F113 means
This page exists to tell you something the manufacturer will not, which is that the manufacturer will not tell you. AEG’s UK oven article on F-prefixed codes opens by naming F113 as a worked example of what your display might show, then presents a table of around 74 codes with no meanings, no causes, no symptoms and no remedies attached to any of them. It is a list of strings. The only explanation offered for the entire set is that the codes exist to help AEG’s engineers narrow down the possible causes so they can get the appliance running again quickly — which is a clear statement that the codes are published for the trade rather than for you.
We could fill that gap. Third-party repair sites do, and Electrolux Group’s Australian portal defines a handful including this one. We are not going to, because the Australian model range is not the British one and the third-party lists contradict each other. What we can give you is the one instruction AEG themselves offer, and an honest account of where the answer stops.
What causes it
| Cause | What is actually happening | How likely |
|---|---|---|
| AEG do not publish a cause for this code | That is the finding rather than an evasion. Their table gives F113 no meaning at all, and no other AEG UK document we found defines it either. | Common |
| A genuine component or board fault needing diagnosis | The default reading of AEG’s framing, given they describe the whole code set as material for engineers and close the article by pointing at a service booking. | Common |
| A transient fault that a power cycle will clear | AEG themselves suggest this by offering a 30-second mains reset as the only owner action, which is a step that only makes sense against a temporary condition. | Occasional |
What to try yourself
Turn the oven off at the mains, wait 30 seconds, and turn it back on. This is AEG’s own and only published step for any code in this table.
If the code clears, use the oven normally but note the date. A code that returns on a pattern is worth more to an engineer than one you cannot describe.
If it comes straight back, look in the troubleshooting section of the manual for your specific model. AEG explicitly direct readers there for codes the portal does not cover, which is all but two of them.
Write the code down exactly as displayed before you book anything. Codes on this platform are precise rather than rounded, so F113 and F131 are different faults and the difference matters to whoever attends.
Get a qualified appliance engineer to look at your AEG F113
We do not pass enquiries to a repair firm, so there is no form here. When you book a qualified appliance engineer, tell them the make, the model and the exact code or message on the display, and ask whether they carry parts for this make — that is what turns one visit into a repair rather than a quote.
What it costs to fix

Depends on the cause
Time on site
5 minutes
Impossible to give honestly without knowing the fault, which is the point of the page. Expect a diagnostic call-out of £70 to £110 before any parts, and ask for the cost of the repair before authorising it.

Related AEG fault codes
- DemoUsually simple to fixThe oven lights up, accepts settings and never heats. AEG admit demo mode can switch itself on after a power cut, and the code to switch it off is 2 4 6 8.Related: controls and clock
- SAFEUsually simple to fixSAFE or a padlock symbol means one of three things on an AEG oven, and only one of them needs you to do anything. Work out which before you start pressing buttons.Related: controls and clock
- F240Get it checkedThe touch controls are not registering properly. AEG class this as owner-fixable and their remedy is to clean the display, which is less dismissive than it sounds.Related: controls and clock
- F908Get it checkedThe oven cannot talk to its own control panel. AEG define this one in the manual and leave it out of the code list on their website, where it appears only as an example.Related: controls and clock
- LocUsually simple to fixThe function lock. It stops the temperature and timer being changed mid-cook, and unlike the child lock it can only be set while the oven is actually running.Related: controls and clock
- F601Usually simple to fixOne of four Wi-Fi codes on connected AEG ovens. None of them affects cooking, and AEG give all four an owner remedy rather than sending you to an engineer.Related: controls and clock

Common questions about AEG F113
I have found the meaning of F113 on another website. Why is it not here?
Because we could not verify it against anything AEG publish for the UK. Electrolux Group do define a small number of oven codes on their Australian portal, and that is a different market with a different model range. Repeating an Australian meaning as a British fact on a page about a safety-relevant appliance is exactly the kind of confident guess this site exists not to make.
Does my code being in the table tell me anything at all?
A little. AEG head the section "Here are some error codes that require a service call-out", so their own classification of everything in that table is service-only. It does not tell you what has failed, but it does tell you AEG do not expect an owner to fix it.
Is F113 related to F131 or F130?
Not necessarily, and this matters. On AEG’s dryers the displayed code is deliberately a truncated family, so E50 might really be E51 or E53. Ovens do not work that way — the codes are precise, and neighbouring numbers are genuinely different faults rather than variants of one.
