Possible Causes

Open or shorted NTC sensor, Loose NTC connector, Damaged wiring to NTC, Faulty control board input

Safety first: Disconnect mains power before accessing sensors.

1. Locate NTC sensor: On many AEG dryers, the NTC is mounted on the front of the drum housing or on the heater duct.
2. Check connection: Ensure the NTC plug is firmly connected and free from corrosion.
3. Inspect wiring: Look for damaged or pinched wires between the NTC and control board.
4. When to call a technician: Sensor resistance must be measured and compared to specifications; if faulty, the NTC should be replaced by a technician.
