Appliance Fault Codes

What that error code means — and what you can safely check

AEG washing machine EH3 error code

EH3 means water level / pressure fault. The pressure sensor is reporting an implausible water level — a sensor or tub pressure-hose fault.

Often fixable at home · Fault type: Electrical/hardware

Safe checks, in order of likelihood

  1. Unplug for 1 minute and restart to clear a one-off sensor trip.
  2. Check the drain hose is not positioned too low (siphoning confuses the sensor).
  3. Run a short cycle and watch the fill level.

Call a professional when…

If the code returns after these checks, book a qualified engineer.
