Possible Causes
Stuck heater relay causing overheating, faulty NTC sensor reading, scaled-up heater causing localized overheating, control board fault
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer and allow it to cool fully.
- Inspect NTC sensor and heater: Access the heater housing and NTC. Check for limescale buildup and poor contact between NTC and housing.
- Check wiring: Ensure NTC and heater wiring are intact and not shorting.
- Descale: If heavy limescale is present, run a maintenance wash with a descaling agent (following manufacturer instructions) after resolving any electrical issues.
Persistent F24: Likely indicates a control board fault in the temperature regulation circuit and may require board replacement.
