AEG dishwasher i40: pressure/level sensing fault
Risk level
Medium
Proceed carefully and stop if the check is unclear.
Urgency
High
Quick answer
i40 means the pressure/level sensing branch is not reporting a valid water level. Preserve the full display and model, then use whether filling and draining both occur, and whether the filters are clean before the code returns 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 i40
What they doA qualified technician should test filters, water path, pressure chamber, level sensor, harness or control, using the exact model/PNC and the recorded result for whether filling and draining both occur, and whether the filters are clean before the code returns.
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 i40, the complete message and model/PNC. Record the failed programme stage and whether filling and draining both occur, and whether the filters are clean before the code returns. 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
Clean only the user filters, verify the visible hoses are not pinched and perform one one-minute power reset. Do not access pressure tubes or sensors.
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
Normal fill and drain with i40 returning isolates level sensing or its control. Abnormal fill or drain first selects that hydraulic branch; the code does not prove a sensor part. If the same result returns after this one controlled pass, stop rather than chaining resets or cycles.
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.
