Check whether AirDry is actually fitted
AEG describes controlled automatic door opening during drying on compatible models. Include the PNC, programme and stage when the door opened. Do not assume every AEG dishwasher has AirDry, and do not treat a door opening at another stage or failing to latch as normal without model-specific assessment.
Wash, drainage and drying results
Report retained water, detergent left in its dispenser and the affected rack separately from wet plastics. Copy the exact code rather than using a generic fault list. Leave a leaking or tripping unit unused. Follow only safe accessible filter care in its handbook; do not remove pump covers or pull a fitted dishwasher out.
Furniture panel and moving-basket access
State freestanding, fully integrated or semi-integrated fitting, width and any unusual rack mechanism. Describe a furniture panel catching or basket stuck without forcing it. Supply model/PNC so hinges and parts are not selected by appearance. A replacement's panel and plinth clearances require separate fitting review.
Safe checks and deciding your next step
For checks that do not involve dismantling the appliance, read the dishwasher safety guidance. If you are weighing up a repair and a replacement, see what affects that decision. Your exact model handbook takes precedence over general guidance.
Details to include with this request
- Model, PNC, width and integrated format.
- Programme stage when the door opened.
- Code, water and wash/drying result.
- Panel/plinth or basket-access restriction.
Identify the exact AEG model
AEG manuals use the model or product number/PNC to identify the product version. Copy these from safely accessible documents or a label; a feature name alone is not a complete product reference. AEG UK model and PNC manual finder
Copy the complete reference as printed, including any suffix. Use an accessible label or your appliance paperwork; leave built-in units, electrical covers and heavy appliances in place. If the label cannot be reached safely, explain this when you contact us.
For the manufacturer’s explanation of the feature discussed here, see AEG UK appliance support.
If you are considering a replacement
Tell us whether the new dishwasher is slimline or full width and whether it is fully integrated, semi-integrated or freestanding. Include the old and new models and any furniture-door or plinth details.

AEG dishwasher repair questions
Is an automatically opening door always broken?
No. It can be intended drying behaviour on an AirDry-equipped AEG model. The model and timing matter; unexpected dropping or latch trouble is a different concern.
What is included in the fixed repair call-out?
For a Central London service address, the standard freestanding call-out is £90 plus parts. Integrated appliances of any brand start from £120 plus parts in Central London. Outside Central London, fixed call-out charges start from £75, depending on your appliance's make and model and whether it is freestanding, integrated or another appliance type. Our office confirms the service address and applicable amount by phone before arranging your visit. The agreed charge covers the first visit, repair labour and any return visit needed to fit parts for the same agreed repair. There is no extra labour or repeat call-out charge for that repair. Parts are priced separately and approved before fitting.
What details help with a AEG dishwasher repair enquiry?
Explain whether water remains after a programme, cleaning is poor, the machine will not fill or a leak is visible. Tell us whether it is integrated, freestanding or slimline; do not remove the plinth or tilt the appliance to investigate a code.
