How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer and allow it to cool before accessing the heater area.

  • Confirm symptom: Run a 60°C cycle and pause halfway. Carefully touch the door glass; it should feel warm. If always cold, heating is not occurring.
  • Inspect wiring: Remove the rear panel and check heater and NTC connections for looseness or burning.

Testing the heater and NTC requires a multimeter and knowledge of safe electrical practices. If you are not trained, have a technician perform these tests and replace faulty components.
