How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before testing electrical components.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Access NTC: Remove the rear panel and locate the NTC sensor at the heater area.
- 2. Reseat connector: Disconnect and reconnect the NTC plug several times to clean contacts. Ensure it is fully seated.
- 3. Inspect harness: Follow the NTC wires to the control board, checking for cuts, burns, or pinched sections.
- 4. Measure resistance: Test the NTC at room temperature and compare to spec. If reading is unstable or out of range, replace the sensor.
When to call a technician: If a new NTC does not resolve F24, the main control board may require replacement.
