AEG Electrolux dishwasher i30 error (flood protection) workaround fix

AEG dishwasher (model F77011M0P) drain pump started running constantly when dishwasher was off. Manual water valve in faucet was open and machine was slowly leaking water in. Water filled the bottom of the machine and flooded to secondary tray under the machine where the flood sensor (floating styrofoam sensor) is located. This activates the i30 anti-flood protection mode.
The cause seems to be that "safety valve" in water inlet hose is not fully closing, thus allowing water to leak into the machine. Replacing the hose with valve costs like 200 eur+ so we're planning to replace the entire machine instead. EDIT: We bought a new machine (different brand) in 4/2021 after about 2 years since the first occurrence of this i30 problem.
You can keep using the old "leaking" machine when manual water input valve is closed after every wash.
KNOW THE RISKS! If you forget to close the manual valve and there's long electricity outage or drain pump breaks down or inlet valve starts leaking more water, you might get wet floors!

Great tutorial! Joining the ranks of those that saved a call to the technician (and probably 100 pounds) for what was a 15 minutes job. I owe you a pint!

Mecanic could come in over 2 weeks now i fiksed it myself super happy!!❤

[@granddadmark7639]

Brilliant thank you, I just tipped the dishwasher backwards to see how to get the front kick board off and the water drained out on to a towel I put down just in case.

[@lellorena7683]

One of the most effective tutorial I've ever found on the web. Thank you so much

[@fabioangeli4948]

Thank you so much! You went direct to the point and saved me a call to the technician!!! I owe you a beer!

[@Sodam_Insain]

Works like a charm. Thanks for the walkthrough.

[@adamblyth9972]

Thanks for the video. Saved me a nightmare at 9pm. I ended up just getting every spare towel in the house and tipping the dishwasher over to empty the slowly, but got the same result.

[@samlewis967]

Thanks mate... you just saved me £200 and lots of washing up on Christmas day 🙌

Mikko You’ve just saved me with all the hustle. God blessed youuuuuuuuuuuu!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😘

[@zsoltfazekas]

Hi Mikko, thanks for the tutorial, worked perfectly, I owe you a beer. First I visited AEG's official site, but their only advice was to call a licensed service technician.

Riesen dank für dein video hat mir eben mein kopfschmerz genommen nach 5 minuten lief der hobel wieder und hat viele kosten gespart 👍👍

Thank you so much! You just saved me some money. Everything works again!

Thank you. You solved my problem. I only used kitchen towels to clean the water and it still worked.

[@bacusia37]

Thank you so much ❤️ First time in my life I fixed something by myself 😃 With your help of course ☺️

You saved the day and few hundred dollars. Thanks mate!!

[@matthewhughes4663]

Just fixed the problem following your tutorial. Thanks very much.

[@alyosha6914]

Thank you. The dishwasher works again. I have Electrolux, different brand and same error. Thak you very much.

[@markatkinson1479]

Great save dude. Saved me 150 quid service and inspection

[@zidliym9702]

I have the AEG aeg ffb63806pm with the same i30 error. I did the same steps. The front of the washer was harder to get off because I have a different model non the less for now it seems fixed. Thank you 💪

[@zidliym9702]

Well the problem came back the next day 😅

[@MikkoAuvinen]

That's the case also with our machine because input valve is leaking water into machine (while machine is off) as shown in video with wet paper. This triggers i30 error if manual water valve is left open for a day or such. See video description for full explanation. "Meanwhile we can keep using the old "leaking" machine when manual water input valve is closed after every wash."

[@zidliym9702]

@@MikkoAuvinen i found out my problem. My problem started when I put (don't know the english word for it but I call it dishwasher salt) in to the container and forgot to close the lid. The next morning it was fine but then I started a second time i30. came after 30 minutes. I could not figure out how,what and why so I decided to take the machine apart. I took out the container where the salt used to be and you know what? It was empty but the slot next to it was filled with dirty left over food etc. Because I forgot to put the lid back all the salt was gone and food went inside it. So I cleaned it out and put everything back together. I run it 3 times empty and the first time with a machine cleaner. It is good for now (has been 3 days).

[@EddieKnight]

Thank you very much Mr. Auvinen. This morning I've got the i30 error and your video saved me some money. Keep it up!

[@shushu9225]

Thank youuuuu soooo muchhhhh!!!!!! You Are a hero!

[@tommyp1884]

lol there is usually a reason as to why there is water in the bottom pan. simply clearing it away is not problem solving. you need to find the reason as to why the water was leaking in the first place.

[@MikkoAuvinen]

You're right. This is explained in video description and the video is titled as "workaround fix". Video also shows the malfunctioning inlet valve that leaked in water in our case.

Thank a lot for this tips ! I’ve just resolved it 🎉

[@togethereasy]

Yes and the same error comes after 1 wash.

[@borutcresnik7246]

My error 30 started in the middle of a cycle and the device continuesly bipped and pump ran till in unplugged it from the electricity (if i plugged in again it immediately sterted to beep and pump ran). I did your solution and device stopped beeping, but after 30 sec when I ran a cycle again the error 30 came back. Seems there must be an actual fault like a leackage, faulty sensor or something? EDIT: I have rechecked and there is full of water again so i image a hose leackage...

Cheers! … that worked 👍🏼

[@voxac30withstrat]

Maybe some vocal clarification might help as well. For example is it the back plate (grey plastic cover on our machine) down the bottom that you removed to access that water?

[@MikkoAuvinen]

Yes it's the front bottom cover. Usually no need to move the machine if your AEG/Electrolux model has roughly the same structure.

[@boujemaaassrak9262]

Hola buenas noches perdona una pregunta tengo una lavavajillas AEG sale error i11 que senifeca este error que broplima es gracias

[@jmbue3425]

How can I reach the secondary tray under the machine AEG FAV50EWOP. By the front side or back side ? and how to desassemble the bottom cover ?

[@diegotroch5606]

Hey ! I want to try your solution but the bottom section (plastic part bot even the metallic with the screws) is unremovable :// any idea on how I could get my way around it ? I don’t want to force to much because I’m scared of ruining the piece ! Thanks

[@Desfleeding]

Hi there. Im having the same issue. What was the solution around this? Would appreciate any help im trying to save some cash and not get a tech out

[@xrellerx]

The front is pretty hard to get off. I'm afraid I might break something, or should I just push through?

[@dupaluba6374]

Thanks it has helped, altough I found 2 small gray tubes/cords that are not really connected to anything, what are they?

As a service tech. I would like to tell you😅

[@nicolasjolivet6074]

Thank youuuuu !!!!!!

[@randomhumans1395]

But I don’t understand why the pump continues to work? Is it train to drain it?

[@MikkoAuvinen]

Inner tray is flooded with water. Running drain pump prevents incoming water flooding to your apartment.

[@jonh1787]

lifesaver

[@hans-jorgjansen1581]

But why is water in the Bottom?

[@MikkoAuvinen]

If the water level inside the machine raises above the certain level (for any reason), it will deliberately flood into secondary tray where the flood sensor is located. Read the video description for details (in our case water input valve was leaking).

[@hans-jorgjansen1581]

@@MikkoAuvinen but wich Reason? Defect Sensor? Wrong dose of Powder? Thats will be interesting.

[@igordeniv]

well it's a temporary fix, after 1-2 washes it flooded again for me

KIITOS!!!

[@ktippe3687]

[@annabelleleonard7084]

Hi Mikko, How did you manage to open the bottom section of the dishwasher? Thank you

[@MikkoAuvinen]

Just remove those screws. They might be covered with plastic tops, remove those first to reveal the screws.

[@AlinariPn]

Where does the water comes from 🤣

[@MikkoAuvinen]

Water inlet valve was leaking when it was closed. See video description for full explanation.

[@randomhumans1395]

Fuck… I don’t have access to that part.. it’s integrated with wood…
