⚠️ Safety Warning: Appliance repair involves electricity, gas, and moving parts. Always disconnect power before working on any appliance.
Error Code: E62 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Overheating during the wash cycle.
How to Fix E62 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Unplug the washing machine from the wall outlet to prevent electrical shock.
- Access the temperature sensor (NTC), which is typically mounted on the heating element at the base of the tub. You may need to remove an access panel.
- Disconnect the sensor’s wiring harness and use a multimeter to measure its resistance in ohms. The reading should be high (thousands of ohms) at room temperature. If it’s near zero or infinite, it needs replacement.
- Inspect the wiring to the sensor and the heating element for any signs of damage or loose connections.
- If the sensor is good, the issue may be a stuck relay on the main control board, causing the heater to stay on.
- Locate the main control board and inspect it for any visible signs of burnt components or damage.
- Replace the faulty temperature sensor or the main control board as needed, then reassemble and test the washer.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
