Possible Causes

Open or shorted NTC sensor, Loose sensor wiring, Sensor dislodged from mounting point, Faulty main control board analog input

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before accessing internal components.

  • Locate NTC sensor: For wash temperature, the NTC is usually mounted in the tub or heater housing. For dry temperature, it is mounted in the air duct or near the heater.
  • Inspect wiring: Check the sensor connector and wiring harness for loose connections or damage.
  • Check mounting: Ensure the sensor is properly seated in its bracket or well and making good thermal contact.
  • Technical testing: A technician can measure the sensor resistance at room temperature and compare it to RCA specifications. An open or shorted reading indicates a bad sensor.
  • When to replace parts: Replace the NTC temperature sensor if it is out of specification or physically damaged. If a new sensor does not clear E14, the main control board may be defective.
