Dishwasher
Select Appliance Type
0ms Instant Telemetry Switch

Symptom / Description

FAULT

The device does not heat or overheats, with an error code related to the temperature probe.

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

The NTC 1 temperature probe is short-circuited, sending incorrect temperature information to the electronic card.

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED
1Unplug the device. Locate the NTC 1 probe and measure its resistance. A value close to zero Ohm confirms the short circuit. Replace the probe.

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.
Perform these diagnostic steps before triggering AI Deep Search or replacing boards.Certified Workshop Routine
