EB0
AEG EB0 on a washer: supply voltage too low
Risk level
Medium
Proceed carefully and stop if the check is unclear.
Urgency
Medium
Quick answer
On an AEG washer, Eb0 (or Ebo, or 11 beeps) can point to a supply voltage that is too low. Remove any extension lead, plug it into another earthed socket and reset it by leaving it unplugged for 30 seconds.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- Do not open the socket or the washer to measure voltage: mains measurement is an electrician's job. If a plug gets warm or smells of burning, stop using it.
Safe checks you can perform
- Extension lead
- Another earthed socket
- Reset
Leave these tasks to a qualified professional

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.
Voltage measurement at the socket
What they doAn electrician uses a multimeter to measure the voltage and the earth at the washer socket, at rest and under load.
They must show youthe measured voltage and earth values.
In writingthe values measured and the conclusion about the wiring.
Washer power supply check
What they doWith the wiring correct, AEG's technician checks the mains cable, connections and power electronics with the diagnostic tool.
They must show youthe diagnostic reading and the failing part.
In writingthe cause, the part replaced with its part number and a test wash after the repair.
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.
Extension lead
- Who:
- you, no tools.
- How:
- unplug the washer, remove the extension lead or power strip and plug it straight into the wall.
- Result that matters:
- ruling out a voltage drop in the lead.
- If plugged in directly it works without Eb0:
- do not use an extension again.
- If Eb0 continues:
- try another socket.
- Evidence to keep:
- note of how it was connected.

Another earthed socket
- Who:
- you, no tools.
- How:
- plug the washer into another earthed socket in the house and try again.
- Result that matters:
- separating a fault in the usual socket from one in the washer.
- If it works on another socket:
- the usual socket or circuit needs an electrician.
- If Eb0 shows on any socket:
- go on to the reset.
- Evidence to keep:
- note of the sockets tried and the result.

Reset
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- unplug the washer, wait 30 seconds and plug it in again.
- Result that matters:
- whether Eb0 was a one-off.
- If it starts and washes without Eb0:
- it was a brief dip; note the date.
- If Eb0 returns:
- contact AEG's authorised service and give the code.
- Evidence to keep:
- photo of the code on the display.

What it means
AEG says Eb0 may indicate problems caused by too low a supply voltage. The washer measures the voltage it receives and stops if it is not enough to run safely. The cause can be outside the machine (socket, extension lead, household wiring) or inside it (its own power electronics). The code does not tell them apart, so it does not prove on its own that the board must be replaced.
Warnings and stop conditions
- Higheditorial warning
Do not open the socket or the washer to measure voltage: mains measurement is an electrician's job. If a plug gets warm or smells of burning, stop using it.

Symptoms and causes
Probable causes · in order
- Extension lead or power stripCommon
AEG asks you to remove any extension; if it works without one, the voltage drop was in the lead.

- Socket or household wiringPossible
If it works on another earthed socket but not the usual one, the problem is that socket or its circuit.

- Washer electronicsPossible
If Eb0 shows on any correct socket and after a reset, AEG's authorised service checks it.

Does EB0 still appear after these checks?
Answer a few questions to narrow down the likely cause and the safest next action. Guidance only - it never replaces a professional.
