To deactivate the child lock, press the first and second additional function buttons simultaneously for three seconds while any programme is running. The lights on the buttons will flash while you do so.

Lastly, check that the appliance is standing level and balanced on its feet. Try rocking your washing machine from side to side or back and forth. If it is wobbling too much, your flooring or the appliance's feet may be uneven.

Use a spirit level to check the appliance's balance. If it's off, adjust the feet by reaching under your washing machine and finding the two front feet. Turn the feet clockwise or anti-clockwise, until they are firmly in contact with the floor.

There are several reasons why this problem may occur. It could be that the drain hose is twisted or blocked. Or the pump filter may be clogged. All sorts of objects can get trapped in the drain pump. From coins to small items of clothing. Your technician will drain your machine with an emergency drain hose if necessary.

When your washing machine is unstable this will cause vibration. As will the machine leaning against something. Overloading the machine as well as underloading can also trigger distribution issues that lead to noise and vibration. Transportation safety bolts can also initiate shaking.

The door lock may sometimes be activated by the level of water in the machine. And will stay locked for two minutes after the programme has finished. If the child lock continues to be engaged there may be an issue with the mechanical part of the door mechanism.

This could be due to the heater not reaching the selected temperature, an automatic unbalanced load detection system fault, or the washing machine not taking in an adequate amount of water. All of these problems can be easily fixed by a trained engineer.

If the water intake keeps being disrupted. And is accompanied by a safety message before switching off, this could be due to transit bolts on a brand-new model not being removed. Other safety warnings given at the beginning of the cycle could indicate an electrical fault.

Though we expect wet clothes at the end of a wash cycle, dripping wet is a different story. What do I do if my laundry is too wet? Avoid overloading the washer tub so it spins properly. Solve the mystery of why your washing machine leaves clothes wet with these troubleshooting tips.

Overloading the washer with too many items could be another reason your washing machine leaves clothes wet. Too much clothing can create an imbalance in the washer tub that reduces spin speeds, leaving clothes wet. Remove some items and redistribute others to balance the washer drum before running another drain and spin cycle.

I'm happy to have just found this forum as my AEG-74600 started to emit this rattling sort of sound when pumping the water out. After a while it stopped and a "C2" message showed up in the LED display. Apparently this indicates a fault with the pump:

So I did an emergency draining by with the emergency emptying hose followed by unscrewing the drain pump cover. I discovered that the green "propeller" or "fan" if you like was completely loose, and my first thought is that this is the cause of my problems. I assume its job is to "push" the water through that area and out, and being loose it probably won't pump the water out properly.

Anyway, I guessed it was broken off, but upon closer inspection it appears just to have loosened but I can't seem to just screw it in place (the pump just spindle just moves if I try). Is there a special way to do this?

Hello tumbler. Normally you cannot repair the pump any more. If the impeller has come off you would normally need to fit a new pump. The pump impeller may be pressed or moulded onto the shaft and once it is off it will be impossible to fix back. However, if the impeller is screwed onto the shaft and there is a thread on them both then theoretically it could be screwed back on but as you have found there is no way to hold the shaft whilst it is tightened. Older pumps used to be able to be repaired easily but now they are all designed to be cheap and thrown away if any fault develops.

The pump impeller is most likely screwed on tight earlier on in its assembly before it is inserted inside the main body. Unless you can strip it apart you will not be able to tighten it up and even then you risk the pump leaking after being stripped down. It is probably best to just buy a new pump, which aren't too expensive. You can buy new washing machine parts from 4Washerhelp - Washing machine parts - AEG pumps

Your description sounds correct regarding the difficulty of re-attaching the impeller. Mine appears to be threaded, but I'm barely able to fit my fingers inside the drain and much less holding the impeller at the same time, though I've succeeded -but as you say, tightening it doesn't seem possible that way at least. In any case, if I need to replace the pump I have to remove it (and if I get that far I might as well try to tighten the impeller) -but how do I access the actual pump?

As you can see from the photo I've managed to remove the lower front panel, but are there screws underneath I have to remove to by tilting the whole unit to its side to access it? I haven't been able to find any service/repair manual for it -do you have any suggestions on how to proceed?

UPDATE: never mind the above as I managed to open up the unit by removing screws at the bottom front, top sides, removing the top panel by unscrewing the screws on the back, and screws holding the plastic front panel in place.

OK, so I've removed the pump (taking pictures as I go along is a good idea so I know what tube goes where etc.) and even disassembled it in order to try to refit the impeller. It doesn't seem to be damaged, but I can't quite figure out the puzzle, expecting it to fit the threads and lock on. Can someone help? (see photos below).

It looks like it's got rings and not a screw thread. My guess is that it's a push fit. It looks like it pushes on and the strange metal shaft fits inside the impeller and is what stops the impeller spinning round on the shaft?
