• Good practice to replace when the NTC sensor is removed for service

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Access the NTC sensor, remove the old O-ring, and clean mating surfaces
• Lightly moisten the new O-ring with water; seat it evenly to avoid pinching, then reinstall the sensor fully
• Run a brief test cycle and inspect for leaks

This O-ring is a circular sealing gasket that creates a watertight joint between mating parts. Replacing a flattened or cracked ring restores a tight seal and helps prevent leaks during operation.

• Provides a compressible seal between fittings, hoses, or housings
• Helps prevent drips and leaks at joints under normal system pressure
• Maintains proper flow by keeping connections sealed
• Typical failure signs: visible cracking/flattening, seepage at a joint, pooling water near the appliance

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Relieve any line pressure and place a towel to catch residual water
