Update Tried again, manged to read out 2550 operating hours. The service manual says that it only counts up to 6550 hours, which says something. It only counts full hours (1h 59min would be counted as only one hour), so 3000h seems realistic. It further came up with an E45, which points to a door lock triac failure, so I guess that one thing lead to another. | ||

The door switch seems fine. It locks, but the control is convinced it's not. But the MCU part of the electronics sure is fried... | ||

Yes, I know what you mean about the toploaders. Before Bosch/Siemens was an option, now the only interesting models are made by Miele and Electrolux (including AEG and Zanussi).
Usually an Allergy cycle has a prolonged heating time to keep the water temperature at 60 degrees Celcius for an hour so it's more effective to kill dustmites. Normal cycles don't keep the water that hot long enough. | ||

Miele I had a Miele Toploader, can't recall the model, which would actually give a full wash cycle even if filled with 60C water. It was for the North American market, so maybe that's why. Loved it. Good example of how to use logic properly. AEG and lifespan - I had a student in grad. school in Munich who worked for B/S/H in Gingen an der Fils. He shared my passion for vintage machinery. Mentioned to me once that the AEGs were being built to 'time-out' after a certain number of service hours.... Wouldn't surprise me. | ||

I don't doubt it for one moment After what VW did, why would I trust any of the möchtegerne Manager die 'Managen tün' NOT to program a failure? Not in your case, but in general. I'd believe my student any day, his job was to carefully compare other brands to their brands. *Cough*reverse engineering*Cough*. The generation of managers who have taken over industry in my homeland are the most corrupt, least ethical we've seen in Germany since the late 1940's. ' | ||

If BSH would actualy have the knowledge of that, they could easily wipe them of the market with one litlle "leak" of information, IMHO. And, honestly, a software made timeout would make life for hackers much easier. A brokencomponent has to be reset. A software counter should be easy to just reset. | ||

"Didn't you once mention she had a L71670FL as well?"
Yes, although hers is the 1400 rpm model. Anyway, yeah, the brushed motor has always sounded "different" from Whirlpool's induction motor. But now, it's rumbling whenever the drum turns and you can move the drum up and down. I just hope it won't blow up during the spin... | ||

Interesting, I have never seen these models labeled as AEG here, just as Zanussi. Perhaps these are also sold under the Electrolux label, but Elux is not a popular brand here.
The final spin is very long, but I assume that laundry wouldn't be much wetter when it would spin for only 6 minutes at the highest speed, or perhaps even for a shorter while. Thanks for sharing your videos. | ||

AEG spin speed I'm curious as to why you say that the AEG spins at 1550 rpm... Is it actually sold as reaching 1600 rpm? How do you know it only does 1550 rpm? | ||
