AEG washer shows E61, water does not reach set temperature within expected time

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Partially failing heater (reduced power), Heavy limescale on heater, Incorrect NTC readings, Low supply voltage

Safety first: Disconnect power.

Descale heater: If you live in a hard water area, run a maintenance wash with a descaling product suitable for AEG machines.
Test heater wattage: Verify heater resistance matches the rated wattage on the rating plate.

If E61 persists, replace the heater and/or NTC sensor as needed.
