EC Competition Law and Washing Machine Fault Codes?

EC car manufacturers may have had to cough up the service fault codes as
part of the legislation to enable independent garages to service
vehicles without invalidating the initial guarantee/warranty.
Although it may be that these have been released in response to the
harmonisation of vehicle service electronics post-2001.
Or they may have been disclosed by subversive (ex-)employees (surely
not?).
Anyway, they are out there; and I just wondered if you had heard of any
similar legislation/drafts/proposals for other products? To take a
random example: AEG washing machines?
Of course, if you know what 'C4' on the display of an 'AEG oko-lavamat
88730 update' means, I would be even more than eternally grateful, if
that's possible...
Er, it isn't that I am an EC law nerd; AEG ignore my requests for the
codes, referring me to their delightful 'service' cartel

My Lavamat 72630 stop mid programe. The repair man was able to run a system check and identified a faulty pump motor. If I had the information about the correct sequence of button to press and the error codes I could have repair this fault myself

Add me to the list too. I have an error code F9 and if as I understand is is likely to be the motor I am likely to end up replacing rather than fixing.
But more than that, we have consistenly found the staff who answer the service requests rude.
I hate giving business to companies with staff with attitude problems.

After 'phoning around - found a friendly repairman who told me that a Cd error code means 'poor or no water pressure/supply'.

I checked through the connections and found what appears to be a small ball of solder stuck in the cold supply pipe! Problem fixed.

I too would be very keen to find out what the various error codes mean - we have a Lavamat 72620 which refuses to budge and displays Cd as an error code. If I could at least find out what the code means I'd be able to decide on whether to have a go at fixing it myself or becoming resigned to calling out their indifferent repair service at £96+VAT plus parts.
