Possible Causes

Shorted NTC sensor, wiring short to ground, moisture in sensor connector, control board input fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power and allow the tub to cool.

  • Inspect NTC and wiring: Access the temperature sensor at the heater bracket. Check for moisture or detergent residue in the connector. Dry and clean as needed.
  • Test sensor: Measure resistance of the NTC at room temperature. If reading is near 0 ohms (shorted), replace the sensor.
  • Check for shorts: Inspect the harness from the sensor to the control for damaged insulation or contact with metal parts. Repair or replace wiring as needed.
  • Control board: If sensor and wiring are good, the control’s input circuit may be faulty and require board replacement.
