10.12.1 General characteristics
1. NTC heating sensor
2. Metal capsule
3. Terminals
4. Plastic casing
An NTC type probe is used to control the washing temperature: it is built in such a way that its internal
resistance decreases as the temperature rises. This drop in resistance is detected by the electronic control
which, when the desired temperature is reached, disconnects the heating element.
The temperature of the water is controlled by the circuit board by means of an NTC probe incorporated in the
heating element.
