Possible Causes

Water not heating to set temperature, Faulty NTC sensor drifting, Control board software glitch, Repeated fill/drain due to level sensing issues

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Stop the program and unplug the appliance before inspection.

  • Check water temperature: During a wash, briefly open the door (after pausing) to feel the water. If it is cold, suspect a heating issue.
  • Reset appliance: Cancel the program and disconnect power for 5–10 minutes, then restart a short cycle.
  • Clean sensors: Clean the filters, sump, and any accessible sensors (e.g., turbidity or NTC housing) to ensure accurate readings.
  • Monitor behavior: If the machine repeatedly fills and drains, a pressure switch or flow meter fault may be present and should be diagnosed.

Long-running cycles without completion often indicate a component fault; professional diagnosis may be required.
