Possible Causes

Open-circuit thermistor, Shorted temperature probe, Damaged sensor wiring, Loose sensor connector at control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing sensors or control boards.

  • Locate the sensor: Identify the tank or door-mounted temperature probe referenced by the error. It is typically a small stainless or brass probe with two wires.
  • Inspect wiring and connectors: Check for broken wires, chafing, or loose connectors between the sensor and control board. Repair or replace damaged wiring.
  • Test sensor resistance: Remove the sensor and measure resistance at room temperature. Compare to Jackson’s specification chart. An infinite or near-zero reading indicates a failed sensor.
  • Check for moisture intrusion: Inspect the sensor body and connector for water ingress or corrosion. Replace if contaminated.
  • Clear error after replacement: Install the new sensor, reconnect wiring, and power up the machine. Clear the error code per the service manual and verify accurate temperature readings.

Do not bypass temperature sensors; they are critical for safe sanitizing and over-temperature protection.
