How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing controls or sensors.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Verify water supply temperature: Ensure hot and cold hoses are not reversed and that both supplies are present.
  • 2. Inspect temperature sensors: Check NTC sensors on the tub and dryer duct for secure connections and correct resistance.
  • 3. Wiring inspection: Trace sensor wiring back to the control board and repair any damage.
  • 4. Control board: If sensors and wiring are good, the ATC function on the control board may be defective and require replacement.
