Wiring connection from thermistor to main PCB (connector RD6 to WH4) disconnected; Thermistor faulty (resistance should be 8-44 kΩ)
How to Fix
- 1
Check connector RD6 to WH4 connection; replace thermistor if disconnected and problem persists
- 2
Check thermistor resistance: should be 8-44 kΩ; replace thermistor if out of range
- 3
