Possible Causes

Open‑circuit NTC sensor, Shorted NTC sensor, Loose or corroded NTC connector, Damaged wiring harness to NTC

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate the dishwasher from the mains before removing panels or touching wiring.

  • Locate NTC: On Zanussi dishwashers the NTC is usually mounted in the sump or integrated into the heater/circulation pump housing.
  • Inspect connection: Check that the NTC plug is firmly connected and free from corrosion or moisture. Clean and reseat the connector.
  • Measure resistance: Disconnect the NTC and measure its resistance at room temperature. Compare with Zanussi specifications (typically several kΩ). A reading of 0 Ω or infinite resistance indicates a faulty sensor.
  • Replace NTC: If defective, replace the NTC sensor with a compatible Zanussi part. Ensure the sealing O‑ring is correctly seated to prevent leaks.
  • If error persists: The control board input circuit may be faulty and should be checked by a professional.
