Risk level

High

Professional inspection is recommended.

Urgency

Immediate

Quick answer

i30 means the anti-flood system detected water in the base or a leak condition. Preserve the full display and model, then use whether water is visible at the tap, inlet connection, door edge or beneath the upright appliance 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

Leave these tasks to a qualified professional

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.

  1. Evidence-led AEG handoff for i30

    What they doA qualified technician should test external connection, door seal, foam overflow, internal hose, sump or base-float activation, using the exact model/PNC and the recorded result for whether water is visible at the tap, inlet connection, door edge or beneath the upright appliance.

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.

  1. 1

    Capture the decision evidence

    No special tools

    Procedure

    Photograph i30, the complete message and model/PNC. Record the failed programme stage and whether water is visible at the tap, inlet connection, door edge or beneath the upright appliance. 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.

  2. 2

    Run the one discriminating check

    No special tools

    Procedure

    Stop the programme, close the water tap and disconnect only if the plug area is dry. Keep the dishwasher upright; do not tilt it to clear the code or remove panels to dry the base.

    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.

  3. 3

    Stop at the result boundary

    No special tools

    Procedure

    A wet external coupling belongs to installation repair. No visible external leak with continuous draining means water is probably contained in the base: leave it off for qualified leak tracing. 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.
