Question Summary
I have an AEG dishwasher and it is showing error code 30 - manual informs me I should ring service centre as flood protection system has been activated - but no sign of any flood - is there any other way to fix this ...Answer Summary
Hiya,You won't see any water under the appliance, the anti-flood device prevents this. If it's a freestanding appliance, pull it out, tip it rearward about 45 degrees and drain the water out of the base then try the machine again. In this instance you have to take the machine out, remove the top and side panels and watch to see where it leaks.

VerifiedHiya,
You won't see any water under the appliance, the anti-flood device prevents this.
Basically water has got out of the tub and into the base of the machine.
If it's a freestanding appliance, pull it out, tip it rearward about 45 degrees and drain the water out of the base then try the machine again.
If it's integrated, unplug the appliance from the wall socket, take off the inspection panel below the door and use a sponge to remove the water from the base.
Once removed, try the machine again.
If you have a leak, the machine will fault quickly again. In this instance you have to take the machine out, remove the top and side panels and watch to see where it leaks.
Water in the base can come about due to overfoaming inside the appliance. Normally this happens when washing up liquid gets into the appliance or you refill the rinse aid and have a spillage.
Some tablets are also prone to foaming and if you are also using rinse aid and all in one tablets you are double dosing on rinse aid.
Hope this helps
Thanks
