Possible Causes

Shorted NTC temperature sensor, Limescale build-up affecting sensor reading, Stuck heater relay on AEG main PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and allow the dishwasher to cool completely before inspection.

  • Visual inspection: Access the NTC sensor (usually mounted in the sump or heater assembly). Check for heavy limescale or contamination.
  • Clean sensor area: Descale the sump and sensor area using a dishwasher cleaner or a dedicated descaling product according to instructions.
  • Test sensor (advanced): Measure the NTC resistance at room temperature and compare with AEG specifications. Replace if out of range or shorted.
  • Control board check: If the sensor is good but overheating persists, the heater relay on the PCB may be stuck closed and the board should be replaced by a professional.
