AEG 88101 Error Code E0: Meaning, Fixes & Troubleshooting

E0 indicates a fault with the electronics.

• E0 displayed on the hob display instead of normal zone temperatures or timers.
• Some or all cooking zones do not heat or respond to touch controls.
• Intermittent operation: hob may work briefly after reset then show E0 again.

• Temporary glitch in the hob's control electronics resolved by power-cycling.
• Voltage spike or unstable mains power causing the control unit to fault.
• Liquid ingress or contamination of touch controls causing incorrect signals.
• Internal electronic component or PCB failure (requires service).

1. 1
   Repeat a controlled power reset
2. 2
   Check your household power
3. 3
   Inspect the hob surface and controls
4. 4
   Test isolated zones
5. 5
   Record behavior and frequency

• Attempting internal repairs while the appliance is still connected to mains power.
• Assuming cookware or settings are the cause when the display shows E0 (electronics fault).
• Using excessive water or abrasive cleaners on touch controls which can cause or worsen faults.

• Do not open the hob or remove covers unless you are a qualified technician.
• Do not continue to use the hob if there are signs of burning smell, smoke, or repeated E0 without recovery.

• Always isolate the hob at the circuit breaker or isolator before any inspection.
• If you smell burning or see smoke, switch off power at the breaker and call emergency services or a qualified technician immediately.

Contact AEG support if E0 returns after the checks above or if the purifier shows other fault symptoms while this issue is present.

• Avoid spilling liquids onto the control panel; clean spills promptly and gently when the hob is cold and powered off.
• Use a dedicated circuit for the hob and protect it with proper surge protection where recommended by an electrician.
• Do not slide heavy cookware across the control area and avoid impact to the hob glass which can damage internal electronics.
