Possible Causes

Failed heating element, Open thermal fuse, Loose heater connector, Burned heater relay contacts on main PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and cool the unit before accessing internal components.

  • Check for error codes: If no code is displayed but there is no heat, proceed with heater diagnostics.
  • Inspect heater and wiring: Access the heating element assembly and look for breaks in the coil or burnt connectors.
  • Test heater: Measure resistance across the heater terminals. An open circuit indicates a failed element that must be replaced.
  • Check thermal fuse: Test continuity across the thermal fuse. Replace if open, using the correct Ultima Cosa-rated part.
  • Control board: If heater and fuse are good, the heater relay on the main PCB may have failed. Replace the main control PCB.
