Code F2
medium severity
AEG models: AEG and Electrolux dishwashers are the same internal product. The filter is a twist-out two-piece assembly under the lower spray arm. AEG's ComfortLift lower basket raises for easier loading — ensure the lift is fully lowered before running a cycle.
Common causes
- Inlet valve failing to close fully — machine slowly overfills
- Water level sensor (pressure switch) fault
- Blocked drain causing water to back up
Step-by-step fix
- Cancel the cycle and check whether the machine is full of water.
- If overfull, check the drain first — a blocked drain can cause apparent overflow.
- If the drain is clear, the inlet valve may be failing to close — test by unplugging: if water continues to trickle in, the valve has failed.
