EA0
AEG washer EA0: drum-position sensor fault
Risk level
High
Professional inspection is recommended.
Urgency
High
Quick answer
EA0 means on top-loading washers, the drum-position sensor (DPS) is reporting an error. Preserve the full display and model, then use whether the machine is a top-loader, the exact EA0/EAO display and the point where drum positioning stops 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

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 EA0
What they doA qualified technician should test drum-position sensor, alignment target, low-voltage harness or control, using the exact model/PNC and the recorded result for whether the machine is a top-loader, the exact EA0/EAO display and the point where drum positioning stops.
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 EA0, the complete message and model/PNC. Record the failed programme stage and whether the machine is a top-loader, the exact EA0/EAO display and the point where drum positioning stops. 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, photograph the display and model, and leave the lid/drum mechanism closed. AEG directs this code to authorised service; do not rotate the drum by force or access the sensor.
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
A front-loader or different code means this page is not compatible. A matching top-loader with EA0 requires DPS alignment/signal diagnosis; there is no safe user reset published by AEG. 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.
