How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer and let it cool.
- Check heater resistance: Measure the heating element resistance and compare with specifications. Replace if significantly higher than normal (indicating partial failure).
- Descale heater: Remove the heater and descale it if heavily coated with limescale, or replace it.
- Test NTC sensor: Verify that the NTC resistance matches expected values at known temperatures. Replace if out of range.
- Electrical supply: Ensure the washer is on a dedicated circuit with proper voltage and no long, undersized extension cords.
