AEG Lavamat 54810 Washing Machine Error Code 6 beeps?

Can't seem to find any reference to 6 beeps in the manual. The machine seems to drain okay and will spin but on a wash cycle the machine will start filling with water and then cut out and I get the 6 beeps. Has anyone experienced this and knows what could be causing the problem?

It means the heater is on when its not meant to be which could be welded relay contacts or a faulty drive transistor.just as a matter of interest check the heater is ok and the wires are attached to the heater.tap the relay on the pcb with a screwdriver handle might release stuck relay contacts.pcb cost around £100 give or take a few quid but might not be the problem 100% as i would be testing wiring etc before risking parting with that kind of money on a 5yr old machine

Many thanks for your quick reply. Really appreciate you going to the trouble.

Is the relay built into the PCB. If so could it be be a dry joint that could be soldered or is it a slot in similar to this one

Cant seem to find specific info for this model.

don't mind having a go at fixing it myself if its likely to be £50ish although as the machine is around 5 years old would probably buy new if likely to be more for a complete pcb. Its used most days so hasn't done badly!
