AEG Washing Machine Error Code E30 Meaning and Possible Fixes
AEG Washing Machine Error Code E30
If your AEG washing machine displays error code E30, it indicates a water pressure sensor problem.
AEG washing machines use a pressure sensor to monitor the water level inside the drum during a wash cycle. If the appliance detects a fault with this sensor or the pressure system, it may stop the cycle and display the E30 error code.

What the E30 Error Means
The E30 error code indicates a fault with the water pressure sensor or the pressure system. This may prevent the washing machine from filling or draining correctly or cause it to stop mid cycle.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Faulty pressure sensor
The pressure sensor that monitors the water level may have failed or become blocked.
Blocked pressure tube
The small tube that connects the pressure sensor to the drum may be blocked or kinked, giving incorrect readings.
Overfilling
If the machine has overfilled with water it may trigger the pressure sensor fault.
Wiring fault
Wiring connected to the pressure sensor or control module may be loose or damaged.
Electronic control board fault
The control board may not be reading the pressure sensor signal correctly.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Clean the pump filter
A blocked pump filter can contribute to pressure issues. Locate the filter, usually behind a small panel at the front bottom of the machine, and clean it thoroughly.
Check for excess foam
Using too much detergent can cause excess foam which may affect the pressure sensor reading. Make sure you are using the correct amount of detergent.
Restart the washing machine
Turn the appliance off and disconnect it from the mains for several minutes before restarting.
Run a new cycle
After resetting, try running a new wash programme to see if the error clears.
