Error codes are model dependent, so the same brand may have more than one listed.
| Code | Brand | What it means | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| F19 | Ariston | Means the machine is taking too long to heat up, or on washer dryer models the dryer fan is not operating correctly. It is usually caused by a heating fault, a control board fault, or wiring damage. | High |
| F3 | Ariston | Means a temperature sensor fault where the machine cannot properly read the water temperature, or a heater relay issue. It is usually caused by a faulty NTC thermistor or a heater relay fault. | High |
| F7 | Ariston | Means the machine fails to heat water, leading to incomplete cycles or a complete halt in operation. It is usually caused by a heating element that is not activating or a heater relay stuck on the main circuit board. | High |
| F8 | Ariston | Means a heating system fault where the machine cannot heat. It is usually caused by a heater relay that cannot be activated, a failed heating element, or a connection issue between the sensor and the control board. | High |
| F3 | Hotpoint | Means a failure in the NTC temperature sensor that monitors water temperature, preventing the machine from heating water properly and often stalling the cycle. It is usually caused by a faulty sensor, loose wiring, or a control board issue. | High |
| F7 | Hotpoint | Means a heater relay fault, where the heating element relay on the circuit board is stuck and the water is not heating. It is usually caused by a faulty heater, wiring issues, or a malfunctioning main control board. | High |
| F8 | Hotpoint | Means a heater circuit fault, where the machine may stop mid-cycle, show cold water, or fail to start. It is usually caused by a failed heating element, a wiring issue, or a stuck relay on the PCB. | High |
| F13 | Indesit | Means a dryer temperature sensing fault on washer-dryer models that stops the machine heating or monitoring the air during the drying cycle. It is usually caused by a faulty dryer NTC sensor, damaged wiring, or a malfunctioning heater. | High |
| F14 | Indesit | Means the dryer system is not heating on washer-dryers, with an open or short circuit detected. It is usually caused by a failed dryer heating element, thermostat, or related wiring. | High |
| F3 | Indesit | Means a temperature sensing fault, where the NTC thermistor is not reading the water temperature correctly and the machine stops heating. It is usually caused by a failed sensor, a wiring issue, or a faulty control module. | High |
| F7 | Indesit | Means a heater relay fault, where the machine detects the heater is on when it should not be or the heating circuit has failed. It is usually caused by a stuck relay on the main PCB, a failed heater element, or faulty wiring. | High |

General fitting guidance. The exact steps can vary slightly with the make and model of your washing machine.
Safety: Switch off and unplug at the mains and let the machine cool before you start.
Genuine NTC thermistor for your washing machine.
It keeps an eye on the water temperature, adjusting as needed. When the water gets hotter or colder, the thermistor changes its resistance, helping your machine know exactly what’s going on.
If your washing machine starts acting up—like not filling with water, overfilling, or not heating properly—it might be a sign that the thermistor is on the fritz. Change it with this replacement part.
This NTC thermistor is from Hotpoint. Also fits Indesit, Nordmende, Scholtes, and Whirlpool washing machines.
Before ordering, please verify that this part is suitable for your model using our compatibility checker.

Not sure I needed this part, when I ordered it. But when I checked the Resistance, when I checked the new one against the old. I decided to fit anyway, save rebuilding the Dryer section twice. Excellent item and Genuine parts.
