Possible Causes

Faulty condenser or exhaust NTC, Loose connector, Wiring damage, Control board input fault

Safety first: Disconnect mains power.

1. Identify second NTC: On some AEG models, a second NTC is located near the condenser or exhaust duct. Refer to the service diagram if available.
2. Check connection and wiring: Ensure the sensor is firmly connected and wires are intact.
3. Clean area: Remove lint and dust around the sensor to ensure accurate temperature measurement.
4. When to call a technician: If E72 persists, the sensor or control board may need replacement.
