C8
AEG dryer C8: temperature-sensor fault
Risk level
High
Professional inspection is recommended.
Urgency
Immediate
Quick answer
C8 means the dryer reports a temperature-sensor problem. Preserve the full display and model, then use the full C8 display, stage and any cold, overheated, smell or breaker symptom to choose the next branch before any part or paid repair.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- Stop immediately for water near electricity, smoke, burning smell, abnormal heat, damaged cable or repeated breaker trips. Close the water tap when a leak is possible; sealed water, heat and mains circuits are professional-only.
Safe checks you can perform
- Capture the decision evidence
- Run the one discriminating check
- Stop at the result boundary

What a technician must be able to justify
A technician is coming
These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Evidence-led AEG handoff for C8
What they doA qualified technician should test temperature sensor, connector, harness, thermal control or main control, using the exact model/PNC and the recorded result for the full C8 display, stage and any cold, overheated, smell or breaker symptom.
Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Checks and evidence, step by step
Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.

Capture the decision evidence
No special tools
Procedure
Photograph C8, the complete message and model/PNC. Record the failed programme stage and the full C8 display, stage and any cold, overheated, smell or breaker symptom. Do not clear the history repeatedly.
Stop immediately for water near electricity, smoke, burning smell, abnormal heat, damaged cable or repeated breaker trips. Close the water tap when a leak is possible; sealed water, heat and mains circuits are professional-only.

Run the one discriminating check
No special tools
Procedure
Stop use and keep the dryer disconnected. AEG directs C8 to authorised service; do not run a heated test, access the sensor or measure mains circuits.
Stop immediately for water near electricity, smoke, burning smell, abnormal heat, damaged cable or repeated breaker trips. Close the water tap when a leak is possible; sealed water, heat and mains circuits are professional-only.

Stop at the result boundary
No special tools
Procedure
Any overheating, smell or breaker trip is an immediate electrical stop. Otherwise, C8 still requires temperature-sensor circuit measurements; the page does not justify a guessed sensor purchase. Keep the appliance off; no owner restart is justified.
Stop immediately for water near electricity, smoke, burning smell, abnormal heat, damaged cable or repeated breaker trips. Close the water tap when a leak is possible; sealed water, heat and mains circuits are professional-only.
