Possible Causes
Heater not working so cycle extends to reach temperature, Low water temperature or pressure, Excessive soil level triggering extra rinses, Faulty NTC sensor misreading temperature
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing heater or sensors.
- 1. Confirm heating: During a hot program, open the door carefully after 20–30 minutes. If water is cold, the heater or NTC is likely faulty.
- 2. Check water supply: Ensure adequate water pressure and that the inlet filters are clean.
- 3. Clean filters and interior: Heavy soil and grease can cause the control to extend rinses. Clean filters, spray arms, and run a cleaning cycle.
- 4. Test heater and NTC: Measure resistance of the heater and NTC. Replace the heating element / circulation pump assembly or NTC sensor if defective.
