Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power. Heating components operate at mains voltage and can be dangerous.
- Confirm symptom: Run a hot program and open the door immediately after stopping (carefully). If the interior and dishes are cold and wet, heating is not working. If there is excessive steam or plastic smells, overheating may be occurring.
- Check for limescale: Heavy scale can insulate the heater. Run a descaling cycle with dishwasher cleaner or citric acid to remove buildup.
- Inspect wiring (advanced): Access the base and locate the flow-through heater assembly on the circulation line. Check connectors for burns or loose terminals.
Heater and NTC testing require a multimeter and safe handling of live circuits. For most users, replacement of the flow-through heater assembly or NTC sensor should be done by a qualified technician.
