Washer-dryer combo reports water temperature sensor short; may immediately show E72 on start.

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

Shorted NTC sensor, Pinched sensor wiring, Moisture in connector, Failed main control input circuit

Safety first: Disconnect power before testing.

Inspect wiring: Check the sensor harness for pinched or rubbed-through insulation causing a short.
Test sensor resistance: If resistance is near zero ohms, the sensor is shorted and must be replaced.
Dry and clean connector: If moisture is present, dry thoroughly and apply contact cleaner.
Replace sensor or control: Install a new water temperature sensor. If E72 persists with a new sensor and good wiring, the main control board may be defective.
