Risk level

Medium

Proceed carefully and stop if the check is unclear.

Urgency

High

Quick answer

iC0 means AEG groups iC0–iC3 for model-specific service after one reset; the public page does not name a failed part. Preserve the full display and model, then use the exact iC variant and whether it stays the same or changes after one reset 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

  • Do not attempt this professional task: Evidence-led AEG handoff for iC0

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. Evidence-led AEG handoff for iC0

    What they doA qualified technician should test model configuration, communication between internal modules, harness or control, using the exact model/PNC and the recorded result for the exact iC variant and whether it stays the same or changes after one reset.

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. Capture the decision evidence

    No special tools

    Photograph iC0, the complete message and model/PNC. Record the failed programme stage and the exact iC variant and whether it stays the same or changes after one reset. 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. Run the one discriminating check

    No special tools

    Capture iC0 versus iC1/iC2/iC3, model and programme stage. Apply one one-minute reset only; do not infer that the C means connectivity or replace a control board.

    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. Stop at the result boundary

    No special tools

    A changed code selects the new official branch. The same iC code returning selects model-specific AEG diagnosis; repeated resets erase chronology without isolating a component. 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.

What it means

AEG's official French support documents iC0 on the dishwasher as follows: AEG groups iC0–iC3 for model-specific service after one reset; the public page does not name a failed part. The exact model manual controls compatibility; the same code on another appliance can mean something else.

Warnings and stop conditions
