Possible Causes

Failed wash temperature sensor (NTC), Shorted or open NTC wiring, Sensor not seated properly in tub or heater housing, Control board sensor circuit fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow any hot water to cool before accessing the heater or sensor area.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Locate the wash NTC sensor: Typically mounted in the tub wall or on the heater housing. Remove the rear panel to access.
  • 2. Inspect wiring: Check the NTC connector and wiring harness for damage or loose connections. Reseat the connector.
  • 3. Test the NTC: Disconnect the sensor and measure its resistance at room temperature. Compare to Monogram specifications (commonly 10k–20k ohms at 25°C). Infinite or zero resistance indicates a failed sensor.
  • 4. Replace the sensor if faulty: Install an OEM Monogram NTC sensor, ensuring it is fully seated and sealed to prevent leaks.
  • 5. Reset and test: Reassemble, restore power, and run a warm wash cycle to confirm E16 is cleared and temperature control is normal.

When to call a technician: If the NTC and wiring are good but E16 persists, the main control board may be defective and should be professionally evaluated.
