E72
Possible Meanings:
- Bottom Outlet Thermistor Issue:
- This is a common interpretation of E72 in washer-dryer combos. It indicates a problem with the bottom outlet thermistor, which monitors the drying temperature. Malfunctions or wiring issues with the thermistor can trigger the error.
- NTC Sensor Issue:
- In some washing machine models, E72 might signify a problem with the NTC sensor located in the hose at the bottom of the condenser. This sensor monitors water temperature, and any issues can cause the error.
- Other Causes:
- In rare cases, the E72 error could be related to other components like the motor or inverter board.
