HEATING ERROR

Is displayed?

Check the connectors at the
main PCB, the heater and the
thermistor. Are the
connectors loose or
disconnected?

Reconnect or
repair
the connector.

Yes

Yes

Check the resistance of the
heater. Is the resistance
between 12

1

and 18

1

?

(Refer to 9-6 Heater
assembly.)

Proceed to next step at right

Replace the
HEATER
ASSEMBLY.

No

Yes

No

Check the thermistor
resistance. Is the resistance
correct according to the
chart?

(Refer to 9-7 thermistor
assembly.)

Replace the
THERMISTOR
ASSEMBLY.

Yes

No

Are the thermistor terminals
dry and free of corrosion?

[Note]
The temperature sensing circuits on the main
PCB are very simple, consisting only of resistors
and capacitors. Problems with wiring or
connections in the thermistor circuit are the
most likely cause for this error. Be sure to
check ALL connections and wiring thoroughly.
The main PCB should only be replaces as a last
resort, as it is unlikely to be the cause.

Replace the
THERMISTOR
ASSEMBLY.

Yes

Steam generator heater

Wash heater

Is the connector connected to
thermistor disconnected or
disassembled?

Reconnect or
repair
the connector.

Yes

No

Steam generator thermistor

Wash thermistor
