Possible Causes
Shorted heater relay on PCB, Faulty NTC sensor reading too low, Wiring short causing heater to stay energized, Incorrect heater fitted
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer immediately if overheating is suspected to prevent scalding or damage.
- 1. Test NTC sensor: Measure resistance at room temperature and compare to spec. Replace if reading is too low (indicating falsely high temperature).
- 2. Inspect heater wiring: Ensure no wires are shorted together or to chassis that could bypass control.
- 3. Check PCB heater relay: With power disconnected, inspect the control board for a welded or burnt heater relay. If the relay contacts are stuck closed, the heater will remain on. Replace the PCB.
- 4. Confirm correct heater: Verify that the installed heater matches the original Amica rating. An overpowered heater can cause rapid overheating.
- 5. Test carefully: After repairs, run a warm cycle and monitor temperature closely.
