IPM sensor circuit malfunction
Defective NTC Temperature Sensor Probe (Thermistor), open/short circuit in the wiring harness, or faulty connector on the ntc temperature sensor & thermistor.
1. Disconnect 230V mains power. 2. Unplug NTC thermistor harness connector. 3. Measure NTC resistance with multimeter across pins 1-2 (nominal: 4.8kΩ–12kΩ at 20°C–25°C; resistance should drop smoothly when probe tip is warmed). Replace sensor if open circuit (OL). 4. Reset: Power cycle reset: Disconnect appliance from 230V mains for 3 minutes. Press and hold Start/Power for 10 seconds while unplugged, then reconnect power.
