The display shows E14, and the pump runs only briefly before stopping, even with good water flow.

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

Failed thermistor on motor or PCB, broken sensor wiring, poor thermal contact between sensor and motor body, control board fault.

Safety first: Disconnect power and allow the pump to cool before opening any covers.

Steps:

1. Confirm actual temperature: Carefully touch the motor housing; if it is only mildly warm but E14 appears, the sensor is likely faulty rather than indicating true overheating.
2. Inspect sensor wiring: Locate the temperature sensor (thermistor) attached to the motor or PCB. Check for broken wires or loose connectors.
3. Clean contact area: Ensure the sensor is firmly attached to the motor body with proper thermal compound or a clip, if applicable.
4. Replace sensor or PCB: If wiring is intact but E14 persists, replace the Flowclear temperature sensor harness or the entire control PCB, depending on the design.
