AEG 8000 Series Heat Pump Dryer Troubleshooting: A Guide to Troubleshooting and Repairing at Home

The AEG 8000 Series dryers are one of the best-selling models thanks to their A+++ efficiency rating, technologies like AbsoluteCare and SensiDry , and their ability to dry any type of fabric accurately. However, like any intensively used appliance, malfunctions can occur over time. In this guide, we explain how to identify the most common faults, how to fix them yourself, and where to find original AEG spare parts at Electrotodo.es .

1. Most common faults and how to diagnose them

🔹 The dryer does not dry well or takes too long

One of the most common problems with AEG 8000 Series dryers is a loss of drying efficiency. This is usually related to:

• Clogged lint filters (door and heat pump).
• Dirty heat exchanger .
• Humidity sensor with residue or defective .

Solution: Clean the filters after each use. If the fault persists, check the humidity sensor and replace it if necessary. At Electrotodo, you can purchase sensors and cleaning kits specifically for these models. And if you can't find what you're looking for in our online store, contact us for assistance.

🔹 The AEG dryer does not start or stops unexpectedly.

If your dryer doesn't respond when you turn it on or turns off before completing the cycle, the most common causes are:

• Start capacitor faulty .
• Failure in the electronic board .
• Internal ventilation problems due to saturated filters .

Solution: Thoroughly clean the filters and vent. If that doesn't work, you can find the original starting capacitor or circuit board at Electrotodo.es and replace it yourself.

🔹 Strange noises when turning the drum

A squeaking, metallic, or irregular knocking noise is usually caused by:

• Worn drum bearings .
• Damaged drive belt .
• Small objects caught in the drum shell .

Solution: Check the back of the drum and make sure there are no objects stuck. If the problem persists, replace the belt or bearings, available at Electrotodo.

🔹 Most common error codes on AEG 8000 Series

• E50: Engine or electronic control module failure.
• E60: Overheating problems, usually due to dirty filters or blocked ventilation.
• E70: Faulty temperature sensor.
• E80: Error in the program selector or user interface.

Solution: Clean filters and vents. If the error persists, you can purchase the appropriate temperature sensor or control board for your model from Electrotodo.

• Clean the lint filters after each cycle and replace them when they become worn.
• Unblock the heat exchanger weekly.
• Check the status of the humidity sensor every month.
