Aeg w1059 there is no water coming through to my washing machine,i have checked the pipes and ther is water coming through them but not into my machine..any ideas?

E21 means a blockage in the drain pump.
I would check the impeller spins freely. A coin from a pocket can cause that error as it gets stuck in the impeller.

Check detergent is properly inserted. if the tray is not fully in detergent will not dissolve and also water will spill. OR the water pipe may have pushed back.

if the water is leaking during the fill cycle when the detergent is being added from the drawer
ensure the draw is clear, if too much deturget rests has blocked the vent then water maybe running out on the inside.

if the problem is happening during the wash cycle this indicates a leak on your drum, ensure your door seal is intact and not leaking.

if the problem is during pumping, ensure that the pump is not causing a problem
maybe open the bottom vent and ensure the cover is seated properly and pump is clear.
also check the outlet pipe is not blocked or leaking and water is running back on the outside of the outlet pipe and under the machine


I hope this was useful.

You have a syphon - the waste pipe is probably too low and the end sits in water in the drain, meaning the water runs through the machine and out the waste.

Could the machine be overfilling due to a faulty pressure switch (controls the amount of water in the drum). Splits in the door seal or broken pipes?

Problems during water filling phase – washing
(Machine tries to fill for 10 min without reaching the level)

check pipes are not frozen... and valve is operational... should buzz when calling for water....

you need to check all your drain pipes as mine was blocked down into the drain itself

Having worked for AEG for over ten years, the fault is a faulty dispenser unit ( top of soap draw) only fix is to replace the unit ( cost approx £45)

you may have blockage in pipe from drawer to tub but more likely the soap drawer is clogged. take it right out and clean thoroughly

could be leaking inlet valve or if drain is plkumbed in unbder sink, could be filling thro drain pipe when you emptyt sink
