Symptom / Description

FAULT

The device has shut down mid-cycle and is displaying an overheat error, refusing to restart.

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

The thermal protection system was triggered due to excessive temperature of the electronic components. Possible causes: obstructed ventilation, broken cooling fan, or failure to respect installation spaces.

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED
1Allow the device to cool for at least 30 minutes. 2. Make sure that the ventilation openings of the appliance and the cabinet are not blocked. 3. Turn off the device and manually check that the cooling fan(s) spin freely. 4. If a fan is blocked or won't start, it needs to be replaced.

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.
