Quick answer

Error message E7 on an AEG induction hob indicates a cooling fan error on newer appliances, or a power board error on models manufactured before 2010. Check the drawer underneath to make sure nothing blocks the fan, then disconnect power at the breaker for at least 30 seconds.

Safety first

Stop and check this first

  • Do not attempt to open the hob casing or touch internal wiring; built-in hobs must be isolated via the household fuse box and serviced only by a professional technician.
  • AEG advises not using the hob until the E7 problem is completely resolved; disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply and keep it switched off until checked.

Safe checks you can perform

  • Open the drawer below the hob and clear any fan obstruction
  • Disconnect the hob from power for at least 30 seconds
  • Record error E7 and the appliance details for AEG service

Leave these tasks to a qualified professional

  • Do not attempt this professional task: Inspect and replace the internal induction cooling fan
  • Do not attempt this professional task: Diagnose and replace the power board or control module

What a technician must be able to justify

Technician visit

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.

  1. Inspect and replace the internal induction cooling fan

    What they doRemove the AEG hob from the worktop, inspect the cooling fan assembly, wiring harness, and drive voltage, and replace the fan unit if seized or faulty.

    They must show youthe faulty fan or blocked internal airway and a live test confirming smooth fan operation without E7.

    In writingthe fan diagnostic results, replacement part number fitted, and confirmation that airflow is restored.

  2. Diagnose and replace the power board or control module

    What they doTest the induction power board (particularly on pre-2010 appliances) and the fan control circuit on the main electronics, replacing the defective module.

    They must show youthe replaced power board module and a full heating test across the cooking zones with no E7 code.

    In writingthe electronics fault identified, AEG spare part reference installed, and repair warranty coverage.

Before accepting a part or repair

Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.

Follow these steps

Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.

  1. Open the drawer below the hob and clear any fan obstruction

    No special tools

    Who:
    user
    How:
    Switch the AEG hob off, open the drawer directly underneath the appliance, and remove any items, liners, or utensils that could block airflow around the cooling fan.
    Result that matters:
    Air can circulate freely around the underside of the induction hob without anything touching the fan housing.
    If Allow the underside to cool briefly and perform the 30-second power reset to check whether E7 clears.
    If If the space under the hob was already clear, proceed with the mains breaker reset.
    Evidence to keep:
    Photo showing clear space in the drawer or cabinet beneath the hob.

  2. Disconnect the hob from power for at least 30 seconds

    No special tools

    Who:
    user
    How:
    Disconnect the AEG appliance from the mains supply for at least 30 seconds; for built-in hobs, switch off the dedicated circuit breaker or RCD in the household fuse box instead of touching the wiring, then switch it back on.
    Result that matters:
    The hob electronics complete a full power reset when you restore power and switch the appliance back on.
    If If E7 does not return when you turn on a cooking zone, the error was caused by a temporary fan stall or airflow restriction.
    If If E7 appears again after reconnecting power, switch the hob off at the breaker and book a professional technician.
    Evidence to keep:
    Short video or photo of the hob display after turning the breaker back on.

  3. Record error E7 and the appliance details for AEG service

    No special tools

    Who:
    user
    How:
    Make a note of error code E7 and locate the model and PNC product number on your user documentation or rating label without dismantling the built-in hob.
    Result that matters:
    You have the exact error code and model age ready when contacting AEG Official Service.
    If Provide code E7 and the PNC when booking the engineer and leave the hob isolated from power until inspected.
    If If the rating plate is hidden under the worktop cutout, wait for the technician to lift the unit safely.
    Evidence to keep:
    Photo of the appliance rating details or purchase invoice showing the model and PNC.

What it means

When an AEG induction hob or freestanding cooker displays E7, the control system has detected a cooling fan fault on newer generation units, or a power board fault on appliances built prior to 2010. Seeing E7 alone never proves that an internal part has failed: items stored in the drawer directly beneath the hob can obstruct the cooling fan intake and trigger the message. If clearing the space underneath and isolating the appliance from the electrical supply for at least 30 seconds does not clear E7, stop using the hob and arrange an authorised service visit.

Symptoms and causes

Probable causes · in order

  • Items in the drawer underneath blocking the cooling fanCommon

    Cutlery trays, cloths, or cookware stored in the drawer below the AEG hob can press against or block the underside cooling fan opening.

  • Internal cooling fan malfunction on newer AEG hobsPossible

    On newer induction hobs, E7 is logged when the internal cooling fan motor stalls, loses speed feedback, or fails to run when required.

  • Power board fault on AEG appliances made before 2010Possible

    On older AEG induction hobs manufactured before 2010, error code E7 points to a fault on the internal power supply board.
