Possible Causes

Faulty integrated heater-pump unit, Limescale buildup in heater, Wiring fault between heater and control board, Defective NTC sensor on heater body

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect mains power and close the water supply.

  • Visual inspection: Remove the bottom panel and inspect the heater-pump assembly for signs of overheating, discoloration, or leaks.
  • Check connectors: Ensure all plugs to the heater, NTC sensor, and pump are firmly seated.
  • Descale (limited): If heavy limescale is visible, run an empty hot cycle with a dishwasher descaler. This may improve performance but will not fix a failed heater.
  • Electrical test: With a multimeter, measure resistance of the heater and NTC. Compare to service specifications; an open heater or out-of-range sensor indicates replacement.

Most E9 faults require replacement of the complete heater-pump module. This is a complex repair; consider using an authorized Gorenje technician.
