Dishwasher displays 'tE' (or 'TE'), indicating temperature sensor issues.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Shorted thermistor, Open thermistor, Loose connector, Damaged harness

Safety first: Turn off power.

Locate thermistor: Access the sump assembly and find the thermistor.
Inspect and test: Check the connector and wiring, then measure resistance. Replace the thermistor if it's out of specification.

If 'tE' persists, the main PCB may be at fault.
