Worth repairing?

Worth fixing

The sensor is a cheap part, and most of the cost is the call-out.

Can you do it yourself?

Engineer only

Nothing to try at home

Before you start

  • Unplug it before you touch anything inside.

What to do

  1. Note the code and stop

    There's no home fix. Don't use the machine until it's repaired.

When to call an engineer

Now. There's no reset or home fix for a failed temperature sensor.

A repair visit will usually check the sensor's reading with a meter, then its wiring.

Before you book
  • Note the model and serial number. They're on a label inside the door, around the door frame or on the back.
  • Write down the exact code, and what the appliance was doing when it appeared.
  • Check whether it's still under warranty. If it is, the repair may cost you nothing.
