Symptom / Description

FAULT

The cycle stops abruptly, often at the start of the heating phase, and the water remains cold.

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

A short circuit has been detected on the water temperature sensor (CTN). The electronic card receives an abnormal resistance value, interpreted with an extreme temperature, and is put in safety.

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED
1Unplug the appliance electrically. Locate the heating NTC sensor. Inspect its wiring for any signs of damage or contact with ground. Test the probe with a multimeter; if it is short-circuited (resistance close to 0 Ohm), its replacement is necessary.

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.
