Possible Causes
Stuck heater relay on PCB, Faulty NTC sensor reading low, Limescale buildup on heater causing localized overheating, Control board logic fault
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and allow the unit to cool completely before inspection.
- Check for limescale: Inspect the visible heater (if base heater) for heavy scale. Run a descaling cycle with dishwasher cleaner if buildup is present.
- Verify NTC sensor: Follow the steps for E12 to test and, if needed, replace the NTC sensor.
- Observe behavior: After reset, run a short cycle and monitor water temperature by briefly opening the door mid-cycle. If water is excessively hot or steam is extreme, stop the cycle.
- PCB issue: A heater relay stuck closed can cause continuous heating. This requires main control board replacement by a qualified technician.
