It measures the water\u2019s temperature and sends the information to the control board, which adjusts it if needed. If the sensor isn\u2019t working, you might notice water temperatures that don\u2019t match the cycle you selected.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Materials you need<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00bc\u201d nutdriver<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multimeter<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10 mm socket<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flat head screwdriver<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safety precautions<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When working on any appliance, remember to keep safety first. Here are some tips to keep in mind:\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always power off and unplug your appliance or switch off the circuit breaker before you attempt any maintenance or replacement work. This keeps you safe by eliminating any risk of electric shock.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the appliance has recently been used, give it plenty of time to cool down before working on it.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take your time while working to prevent accidents and personal injuries. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rushing is the enemy of precision.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Work in a well-lit area so you can see and access appliance parts.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep your workspace free of clutter and other obstacles. Keep children and pets away from the work area.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Never work on internal parts with wet hands. Make sure the work area is completely dry.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check the user manual to see if there are specific installation or safety instructions related to your appliance or replacement part.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be gentle when handling or removing parts. Excessive force might damage the appliance or cause personal injury.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wear insulated work gloves to protect your hands from sharp metal parts and debris.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When working with wires, avoid touching any exposed wires or terminals.
