AEG fridge freezer error codes

F6 F7 Temperature problem (AEG gives no name)

What it means

AEG’s article does not name the fault behind F6 or F7; every step it gives is about the temperature inside the fridge.

Likely cause

AEG points to a temporary rise in temperature: a power cut, a door opened too long or not sealing.

What you can safely check

Fridge or freezer: do only the checks the maker gives for that code, and unplug it only where the maker says to — Samsung asks owners not to unplug or press buttons to clear a code, so its engineer can still read the fault.

• Check the fridge is properly connected and whether there has been a power cut.
• Keep door openings short; check nothing stops the door closing and that the door seal is clean and undamaged.
• Check the temperature: a thermometer in a glass of water left in the fridge for several hours should read +4 °C to +5 °C (AEG notes a cheap thermometer can be 1–2 °C out). Adjust the dial or the control panel if needed.
• Give it a few hours: if a temporary rise caused the code, it clears by itself once normal conditions return.

When to call a service engineer

If the code continues, AEG recommends a professional technician.

E08 Low mains voltage

What it means

The power supply to the appliance has dropped below 170 V. AEG says this is not an appliance failure: the code is there to prevent damage to the compressor.

Likely cause

Low voltage on the mains supply.

What you can safely check

Fridge or freezer: do only the checks the maker gives for that code, and unplug it only where the maker says to — Samsung asks owners not to unplug or press buttons to clear a code, so its engineer can still read the fault.

• Nothing to do on the fridge itself: the supply voltage has to come back up to the normal level.

When to call a service engineer

If the warning continues, AEG says an authorised technician needs to be contacted.

E09 Freezer not cold enough

What it means

The freezer compartment is not cold enough.

Likely cause

Most likely a long power cut.

What you can safely check

Fridge or freezer: do only the checks the maker gives for that code, and unplug it only where the maker says to — Samsung asks owners not to unplug or press buttons to clear a code, so its engineer can still read the fault.

• Set the freezer colder or switch on Super Freeze; the code clears once the temperature is reached. Keep the doors closed meanwhile.
• AEG’s words on the food: remove any products which have thawed or defrosted during the error — they can be used within a short period of time.
• Do not add fresh food to the freezer until it is at temperature and the code has gone.

When to call a service engineer

If the warning continues, AEG says an authorised technician needs to be contacted.

E10 Fridge not cold enough

What it means

The fridge compartment is not cold enough.

Likely cause

What you can safely check

Fridge or freezer: do only the checks the maker gives for that code, and unplug it only where the maker says to — Samsung asks owners not to unplug or press buttons to clear a code, so its engineer can still read the fault.

• Set the fridge colder or switch on Super Cool; the code clears once the temperature is reached. Keep the doors closed meanwhile.
• Clear food away from the air-duct holes at the front and keep it away from the sensor.

When to call a service engineer

If the code continues, AEG recommends a professional technician.
