DishwasherNTC Temperature Sensor & Thermistor
Premium built-in dishwasher with open illuminated stainless steel interior and precision spray arms
Dishwasher
Select Appliance Type
0ms Instant Telemetry Switch

Symptom / Description

FAULT

A temperature or drying malfunction is noted, with an error pointing to the NTC 2 probe.

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

The second temperature probe (NTC 2) is short-circuited, distorting the regulation of a specific function (e.g. temperature of the drying circuit).

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED
1Unplug the machine and locate the NTC 2 probe using the technical diagram. Measure its resistance: if it is zero or very low, the probe must be replaced.

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.
