What This Means
Temperature of water supplied through the dry valve during a dry cycle sensed as higher than 70°C; Water temperature sensed as higher than 50°C in Wool or Lingerie courses; Cold and warm water supply hoses connected incorrectly (swapped)
What actually causes this:
The hot and cold water hoses are swapped at the back of the machine, so hot water goes where cold should.
First Thing to Check
