Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool before accessing heater or sensor areas.
Steps to check:
- Reset power: Disconnect power for 5 minutes, then reconnect and try a short cycle. Sometimes transient errors clear.
- Access NTC sensor: Remove the rear panel to locate the wash heater and its attached NTC sensor. Ensure the sensor is fully inserted in its pocket and the connector is secure.
- Inspect wiring: Look for pinched, cut, or burned wires between the sensor and main PCB.
- Test again: Reassemble and run a warm wash cycle to see if tE returns.
When to stop: If tE persists, the NTC sensor or control board is likely defective. Sensor replacement is moderate difficulty; board replacement should be done by a technician.
