Possible Causes

Failed wash tub heating element, Faulty NTC temperature sensor on tub, Loose heater wiring, Control board heater relay failure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance and allow any hot water to cool before working near the tub heater.

  • Confirm settings: Ensure a hot or warm wash program is selected and that "eco" or cold-only options are not enabled.
  • Access heater: On many NewAir combos, the wash heater is mounted in the lower rear of the tub. Remove the rear panel to locate the heater terminals and NTC sensor.
  • Check wiring: Inspect the heater and sensor connectors for looseness or burns. Re-seat connectors firmly.
  • Continuity test (advanced): With a multimeter and power disconnected, test the heater element and NTC sensor for proper resistance. Replace any open or out-of-spec components.
  • Replace heater assembly: If the heater is faulty, remove the retaining nut, gently pry the heater from the tub, and install a compatible NewAir tub heater with new gasket. Ensure a watertight seal.
  • If heater and NTC are good: The control board heater relay may be defective and will require professional diagnosis and possible PCB replacement.
