Washer stops during heating phase; display shows D05 and water remains cold.

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 heating element, Faulty NTC temperature sensor, Loose or burnt heater wiring, Defective heater relay on main PCB

Safety first: Unplug the washer. Allow water to cool before working.

Step-by-step checks:

Test the heating element: Disconnect heater wires and measure resistance (20–30 Ω). If open or shorted to ground, replace it.
Check the NTC sensor: Measure resistance; it should change with temperature (e.g., 20 kΩ at room temp). Replace if erratic.
Inspect wiring: Check for burnt connectors at the heater and NTC. Trace back to the PCB.

Reassemble and run a hot wash. If D05 returns, the PCB heater relay may be faulty.
