Symptom / Description

FAULT

The water in the wash bath remains cold and the program stops, signaling a heating fault.

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

The electronic card has activated the heating relay, but does not detect the flow of current. The relay is defective (cut coil or worn internal contacts) or its solders on the board are broken.

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED
1Turn off the device. 2. Access the control board and identify the heater relay(s) (1K1/1, 2K1/1). 3. Carefully inspect the relay solders on the circuit board. 4. Test the relay coil and contacts. 5. Replace the defective relay (desoldering/soldering) or the complete board.

1. Pre-Intervention Electrical Safety Protocols
  • !Electrical Safety Protocol: Cut electrical mains power. Never measure resistance on energized heating circuits.
  • !Ensure tub water or heating cavity is completely drained and cool to the touch before dismantling.
  • !Verify absolute zero voltage using an approved 2-pole voltage detector before touching element terminals.
3. Preliminary Mechanical & Visual Checks
  • Inspect heating element tube for calcification buildup, bulging, pinholes, or blistering.
  • Check wiring spade terminals for heat discoloration, burnt insulation, or loose crimps.
  • On thermal Klixon switches: check for manual red reset buttons and verify spring-loaded snap action.
