AEG Washing Machine Repair Costs
AEG sits at the premium end of the UK washing machine market, under the Electrolux Group umbrella alongside Electrolux and Zanussi. Parts costs are higher than mid-range brands, and AEG-experienced engineers may charge more for their specialist knowledge. Typical repair costs are £100–£230 including parts and labour.
| Fault | Typical repair cost |
|---|---|
| Door seal | £105–£165 |
| Drain pump | £100–£160 |
| Carbon brushes (where applicable) | £85–£130 |
| Drum bearings | £130–£220 |
| Control board (PCB) | £150–£280 |
| Heating element / NTC | £95–£155 |
| Door lock mechanism | £90–£140 |
AEG ProSteam and 6000 / 7000 Series Specifics
AEG's more advanced models — the 7000 ProSteam series and 9000 ÖKOMix machines — incorporate steam generators and more complex electronics than standard machines. Faults with the steam circuit (blocked steam nozzles, failed steam generator element) add a layer of complexity and cost. Engineers who regularly work on AEG premium models will diagnose these faster and more accurately.
Parts Quality
OEM AEG parts (sourced from Electrolux Group) are high quality and carry a manufacturer warranty. Reputable aftermarket alternatives exist for common wear items like seals and brushes at 20–30% less cost. For electronic components (PCBs, sensors), genuine OEM parts are strongly preferable — compatibility and failure rates vary significantly in the aftermarket for these.
Is an AEG Worth Repairing?
Absolutely, in almost all cases for machines under 10 years old. AEG machines retail at £500–£1,100; the 50% repair threshold is £250–£550 — well above the cost of any single repair except perhaps a catastrophic motor failure on an older machine. AEG builds excellent machines designed to last; repair and maintain rather than replace.
