Possible causes of F4 error code:

• Faulty heating element: 
  • This is the most common cause. The element itself might be malfunctioning, leading to inadequate or no heating, triggering the F4 code.
• Loose connections: 
  • Electrical connections between the heating element and the control board might be loose or faulty, preventing proper power supply to the element.
• Faulty thermistor: 
  • The thermistor is a sensor that measures the water temperature and relays information to the control board. If it's malfunctioning, the control board might not receive accurate readings and trigger the F4 code.
• Control board issue: 
  • Less commonly, the error could originate from the control board itself, misinterpreting signals from the thermistor or sending incorrect commands to the heating element.
