DD24DCTX9NDD24DHTX9NDD24SAX9NDD24SI9NDD60DCHX9DD60SDFHX9
Likely Causes
  1. NTC temperature sensor is reading a temperature value that is outside the expected operating range
  2. Sensor has drifted far from calibration due to age or thermal stress
  3. Wiring to the NTC sensor has a high-resistance connection causing inaccurate readings
  4. A second NTC sensor in the system is conflicting with the primary sensor reading
How to Fix It
1
Disconnect power and access the NTC sensor in the sump area
2
Measure the sensor resistance and compare it to the expected value at the current ambient temperature
3
Check the wiring connector for corrosion or loose fit that could introduce resistance into the circuit
4
If the reading is only slightly off, clean the connector and reseat it firmly
5
Replace the NTC sensor if the reading is significantly outside the expected range after connector cleaning
Pro Tip
This fix requires some technical knowledge. If you're unsure about any step, consider contacting support or a qualified technician.
