Rinse temperature sensor reading is invalid or out of range; E16 displayed and rinse may be disabled.

Safety first: Turn off power and allow the rinse system to cool before handling sensors.

Steps to resolve:

• Locate rinse temperature probe: Identify the sensor installed in the rinse line or booster tank on the Champion dishwasher.
• Inspect installation: Ensure the probe is properly seated and immersed in the rinse water stream, not hanging loose or partially out of the fitting.
• Check wiring and connectors: Look for loose plugs, damaged insulation, or corrosion. Repair or replace as needed.
• Measure sensor resistance: Disconnect the sensor and measure resistance at known temperatures. Compare to Champion’s NTC chart. Replace the probe if readings are incorrect.
• Evaluate control board: If a new sensor does not resolve E16, the control board input may be defective and require replacement.

When to call a technician: If you cannot access the sensor safely or lack the specifications, contact a Champion service technician.
