Possible Causes
Weak or partially failed heater element, Incorrect water supply temperature, Faulty NTC sensor reading, Scale buildup on heater reducing efficiency
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before testing heater circuits.
- Check hot water supply: Ensure the Insignia washer is connected to a hot water line with adequate temperature if it relies on supply heating.
- Run a hot cycle: Start a hot wash and feel the door glass after 15–20 minutes (front-load). It should feel warm if heating is working.
- Descale heater: If you have hard water, run a maintenance cycle with a washer descaler to remove mineral buildup.
- Test heater and sensor: Use a multimeter to verify heater and NTC sensor values. Replace faulty parts.
