How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance or switch off the circuit breaker before any inspection.
- Power reset: Turn off the dishwasher for 5–10 minutes, then restart a program to see if the error clears. Transient faults can sometimes be cleared this way.
- Check for moisture in base: Moisture in the base tray can sometimes affect sensor wiring. Remove the toe-kick and inspect for water; dry thoroughly if present.
- Visual wiring check: If accessible, locate the NTC sensor on the sump or heater assembly and inspect the connector and wiring for damage. Do not pull on wires; only gently reseat connectors with power off.
- If E6 persists: The NTC sensor or control board likely needs replacement. This requires disassembly and electrical testing, best done by a V-ZUG technician.
