Description
The thermostat checks the temperature during the
course of the programme. The relays of the heating
element are actuated by making and breaking
contacts.
The thermostat sender (NTC resistor) is situated at the
bottom of the outer drum to the right of the heating
element. Cables go from the sender to the thermostat,
which is situated in the operating panel. The
resistance signal from the sender to the thermostat is
determined by the water temperature. When the input
signal has reached the value selected on the different
contacts, the relevant contacts, B, C and D are
activated. The selection of the appropriate contact is
controlled by the programmed card in the automatic
card device.
Repair instructions
Thermostats should be replaced, as repair is not
recommended. Replacement of sender: To prevent
heating of the sender, a digital instrument shall be
used to measure the sender (NTC resistor). The
resistance between the sender cables shall be 1 kohm
at room temperature).
• Remove the protection plate at the bottom of the
