Symptom / Description

FAULT

Gaggenau 200 Series / 400 Series Zeolith & push-to-open dishwasher: High water inlet temperature E13; intake water exceeds maximum design temperature limit (> 75°C).

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

On Gaggenau dishwashers: Appliance accidentally connected to unmixed solar hot water or central heating loop exceeding 60°C, or faulty NTC.

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED
1Connect appliance to cold water supply or install thermostatic mixing valve set to max 60°C. Verify NTC resistance at ambient temperature (~10 kΩ at 20°C). Press and hold illuminated Start key for 4 seconds until '0:01' abort confirms, close door for final drainage, power off.

1. Pre-Intervention Electrical Safety Protocols
  • !Electrical Safety Protocol: Disconnect 230V electrical mains power before removing appliance side or rear panels.
  • !Ensure tub water or heating chamber has cooled below 30°C before unclipping thermistor probe.
  • !Use CAT III 600V/1000V insulated test probes when tng at PCB edge connectors.
3. Preliminary Mechanical & Visual Checks
  • Inspect sensor immersion sleeve for calcification, limescale scale, or thermal paste degradation.
  • Check wiring harness for pinch points, chafing against chassis metal, and terminal pin oxidation.
  • Verify probe is firmly seated in its rubber grommet or bracket inside the water/air circuit.
