This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Faulty dryer NTC sensor in combo unit, Open dryer heater element, Wiring fault between dryer components and control

Safety first: Unplug the appliance. Combo units are densely packed; sharp edges are common.

Access dryer section: Remove the top cover and rear panel to locate the dryer heater duct and NTC sensor.
Inspect NTC and wiring: Check the sensor and its connector for damage or disconnection. Reseat connectors firmly.
Check heater continuity: A technician can test the dryer heater for continuity. An open heater must be replaced.
Clean lint paths: Ensure the internal dryer air path is not blocked, as overheating can damage sensors.
