Possible Causes

Wrong type of NTC installed, Sensor not seated properly, Damaged sensor wiring, PCB misreading sensor

Safety first: Disconnect power and allow the machine to cool.

1. Confirm sensor type: Ensure the NTC is the exact replacement specified by Amica for your model.
2. Reseat sensor: Remove and reinstall the NTC so it is fully inserted into the heater pocket.
3. Check wiring: Inspect the harness for damage or poor connections.
4. Replace NTC if needed: If resistance is significantly outside the expected range, fit a new sensor.
5. PCB check: Persistent E71 with a correct sensor may indicate a faulty control board.
