Possible Causes

Defective sensor near control electronics, Loose sensor connection, Sensor reading out of range due to damage

Safety: Disconnect from mains before accessing the control area.

Locate sensor: Find the small sensor or NTC mounted near the control board or on the top frame.
Check wiring: Ensure the sensor connector is firmly seated and the wires are not pinched or broken.
Measure resistance: Test the sensor at room temperature and compare with Siemens specifications. Replace if open, shorted, or significantly out of range.
Verify cooling: Confirm that the cooling fan is working properly, as overheating can also stress the sensor.
