I have had an AL03 code - in my case it meant that there was an obstruction to the water outflow into the drainage pipe under the sink. The connector that connected the outpipe to the sink drainage contained a small anti-return valve, which isn'treally needed. My handyman removed the valve, and all was well after.
Now, 18 months later, my machine is showing an AL10 code. Rats.
