What is the fault of the error e40 Aeg that is affecting your dryer?

Have you found that your AEG dryer has the error code e40? While appliance AEG dryer machine errors can be frustrating, the e40 error code can be easily diagnosed and repaired. Dare to fix it yourself!

The e40 error code refers to a problem with the dryer door lock. The door must close properly for safe operation, so if there is a problem with the sensor system, it may display the e40 error code.

Below you will find a list of possible causes for the e40 error code on your AEG dryer:

• The dryer door may be misaligned: This means that the sensor contacts do not fit properly, so the door cannot close.
• The door gasket has a problem: This gasket may be broken, expired, or cracked. This causes the door to not close properly and the e40 error code to appear.
• The view of a door sensor may be obstructed: This means that the sensors do not detect the proper door closure.
• The front door lock may not work properly: This may be due to a misalignment in the hinge, damage to internal mechanisms, or poor contacts.
• The door connection cables: These may not be properly connected or may be damaged.
• A trapped piece of clothing: It may seem obvious, but sometimes a piece of clothing can block the door closure, preventing the machine from operating properly.

How to solve the error e40 of Aeg dryer?

Now that you know the possible causes of error code e40 in your AEG dryer, we will show you some solutions to fix it:

1. Restart the dryer: First, unplug the dryer from the electrical outlet and wait a few minutes before plugging it back in. This resets the dryer and recalibrates the sensors. Most of the time, this restart can solve the e40 error problem.
2. Check for a stuck garment: Sometimes garments get stuck in the door mechanisms, especially small or lacy ones. If there is a stuck garment, you will need to remove it carefully and try using your dryer again.
