Aeg Induction plaque Error e6
Index of contents
What is the fault of the e6 Aeg error that is affecting your induction hob?
Have you ever encountered the e6 error code on your AEG induction hob or AEG ceramic cooktop? We know you want and need to use your valuable appliance, so we'll briefly explain what the possible causes are and what the solutions would be to resolve this problem.
This error can occur on both AEG induction hobs and AEG ceramic cooktops. It's not a problem exclusive to a single model, but rather can affect several of them. This e6 error code on your appliance won't allow you to use it until you make it disappear and is due to a fault in the electrical supply of your device, where it may be receiving only one phase of power supply and cannot operate at full power.
Below are some possible causes of the e6 error code on your AEG induction hob or ceramic cooktop. As you'll likely notice, these are electrical faults:
- Poor electrical connection: This happens when the connection between the power source and the appliance has not been made correctly, which may be related to a poorly connected cable, a poorly closed switch, or a damaged fuse.
- Lack of electrical power supply: This situation occurs when the power source to which the induction hob or ceramic cooktop is connected is not active or is operating inefficiently.
- Safety lock: This occurs when the safety system has been activated and, therefore, the hob or ceramic cooktop is locked.
- Problems with sensors: This rarely happens, but it may occur that the sensors on your induction hob or ceramic cooktop are damaged or are throwing a false positive.
How to fix the Aeg induction hob e6 error?
Now that we know some possible causes of the e6 error on AEG induction and/or ceramic cooktops, it's important to pay special attention to them in order to try to find a solution to the problem. Below, we list some tips that you can try yourself to solve the problem:
- Reset the induction or ceramic cooktop: It may seem obvious or senseless, but if we reset the device, we can "refresh" the sensors of our appliance to some extent. By doing so, we can eliminate all those false positive errors that may be present in our induction or ceramic cooktop. Disconnect it from the power supply, wait a few minutes, and reconnect it.
- Check the state of the power supply: Verify that the power cable is properly connected, that we do not have burnt fuses in our appliance, or that we do not have any stuck switches in any position.
- Deactivate the safety lock: AEG induction cooktops have a safety system to prevent misuse, which can lock some buttons and/or the cooktop's ignition. To deactivate this safety system, press the button with the padlock icon for 3 seconds.
- Check your home's electrical network: You need to verify that the power outlet where your appliance is connected has sufficient power to supply electricity to your induction cooktop, ceramic cooktop, and all other connected components. If possible, disconnect other appliances and leave only the induction or ceramic cooktop to check its status. It is also possible that you have a voltage drop in that electrical outlet, causing only one phase to function.
- Repair the sensors: If there are no results, it is good to check the sensors of the AEG induction or ceramic cooktop, which are responsible for detecting its temperature and power. You should check their condition with a specialized technical equipment to detect if there is any damage to the sensors.
- Repeat all non-invasive steps: If after following all the previous steps the problem is still not resolved, it is best to repeat them but this time making sure that you have followed everything to the letter.
- If the problem persists, you can contact a qualified AEG technician: AEG's technical support is always willing to help you solve any problems you may have with your induction or ceramic cooktop. Don't be afraid to call them and tell them about your problem. We're confident that they will help you solve this error code quickly, effectively, and safely.
Remember that this error code is mainly due to an electrical problem, so you will need to be very careful when handling electricity in your home in search of the fault. If you feel overwhelmed, also remember that you can always rely on AEG's technical support.
