Washer-dryer shows E36; often associated with safety temperature devices

Safety first: Disconnect power and allow the unit to cool fully.

• 1. Identify safety devices: Locate safety thermostats and thermal cut-outs on both wash heater and dryer heater assemblies.
• 2. Check continuity: Use a multimeter to test each thermostat. An open circuit on a resettable thermostat may indicate it has tripped due to overheating; some can be manually reset, others must be replaced.
• 3. Inspect wiring: Look for chafed wires or insulation damage that could cause shorts.
• 4. Replace faulty components: Install new Bosch thermostats or sensors as required.
• 5. Investigate root cause: Overheating is often due to blocked airflow or scale buildup. Clean lint paths and descale as necessary.
