Possible Causes

Disconnected NTC sensor, Broken NTC element, Broken wire in sensor harness

Safety first: Unplug the dryer.

1. Inspect NTC plug: Access the NTC sensor and ensure its connector is fully seated.
2. Check for broken wires: Gently tug each wire leading to the NTC; if any feel loose or stretch, the conductor may be broken inside the insulation.
3. When to call a technician: Replace the NTC sensor and repair wiring as needed; this is typically a straightforward job for a professional.
