How To Reset Aeg Error Codes
Having read previous problems and replies around the internet I hope that I have supplied all relevant information - hence the long post, sorry.
I have an AEG LAVAMAT 86810 with PNC code A914525314 01 which was leaving clothes damper than usual even when spinning at 1600RPM. I ran the diagnostics tests and got E35. I took the top off and located the 2 pressure switches and took off the hoses at the switches end. They seemed OK - no gunk on them. I blew down the hoses and sucked as well. I took off the pressure switches and blew/sucked whilst having a multimeter continuity buzzing away as the contacts made/unmade. I moved the waste hose and did a few rinse/drain tests and noticed some grey sludge coming out. I put some cleaning solution in the drawer and did a 95 degree wash. I do not know how to remove the bottom panels to get to the pressure switch hoses starting point so that is about as much as I could do. Does someone know how to remove them?
I now need to find how to reset the error codes to see if the E35 problem is still there. The power plug has been removed for over 24 hours but when I ran the diagnostics test again I still got the E35 error. I am not sure if the E35 error is still there or the resest did not work (read somewhere that unpugging the unit might reset it). I tried your 2 buttons on the left and turning dial clockwise but that didn't seem to work. Is there another process for this machine? I have buttons (left-to-right) TEMP, RPM, OPTIONS, OK, TIME, START/PAUSE and an LCD display above them and a rotary dial to the right (OFF, COTTONS, LINEN/EASY-CARE, 40-60 MIX, DELICATES, WOOL, SILK, SPIN, RINSE, DRAIN, MEMORY 3, MEMORY 2, MEMORY 1, REFRESH, EASY IRON, ENERGY SAVING).
And lastly thanks for your help
Darren

AEG Lavamat 86810 showing stored E35 after damp laundry
- The problem
- AEG LAVAMAT 86810, PNC A914525314 01, was leaving clothes damper than usual despite a 1600 RPM spin. Diagnostic mode showed error E35. After basic checks and cleaning, the owner wanted to know how to reset the stored error code and whether the fault was still present.
- Likely cause
- The thread supports that E35 may have been a retained diagnostic memory code rather than proof of an active current fault. The exact underlying cause of the original damp-spin issue was not confirmed in the discussion.
- What fixed it
- No separate reset procedure was confirmed. The accepted advice was that if the fault has been corrected, the machine should not continue to show the error in normal use, and the practical check is to run a wash cycle. If the fault is still present, the programme should abort and show the error again. If it completes normally, the issue is presumed resolved. The exact repair was not confirmed.
- Checks to try
- Diagnostic test showed E35
- Pressure switch hoses were removed at the switch end and checked for blockage
- Pressure switches were tested by blowing/sucking while checking contact change with a multimeter continuity test
- Waste hose was moved and grey sludge was seen during rinse/drain tests
- A 95 degree wash with cleaning solution was run
- Machine was unplugged for over 24 hours and diagnostic mode still showed E35
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Multimeter
- Cleaning solution

Hello Darren, If the error code is just retained in memory and only shows on a diagnostics test designed for engineers I wouldn't be concerned. It would make sense for an engineer to be able to see what the last error was. I've known appliances where you can cycle back through previous errors.
Normally any error code should automatically reset or stop displaying the second the fault causing it has been fixed. It wouldn't make any sense for it to happen any other way. In the technical information it says -
There's no mention of any procedure to reset the error code other than the OFF/Reset which doesn't really say much other than imply it resets when you turn it off.
To see if the error is still there you should simply put it on a wash cycle. if it's still faulty it will abort and give the error code again. If not, it's presumably sorted.
I've just created a new article to describe and help on the AEG E35 error which will hopefully be of some help.
