Symptom / Description

FAULT

A cycle, often cleaning or high temperature, is interrupted and the code F9 appears on the screen.

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

The catalytic converter PT1000 sensor circuit is interrupted. The device security is activated because the temperature of the odor filtration system can no longer be controlled.

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED
1Unplug the oven. Access the catalytic converter and its sensor. Examine the wiring and connector. Test the probe with a multimeter. An infinite resistance reading indicates that the probe needs to 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.
