What the E13 Error Means
The E13 error code generally indicates a fault with the dryer temperature sensor (NTC).
The washing machine uses this sensor to monitor the temperature during the drying cycle. If the sensor cannot provide accurate readings, the appliance may interrupt the cycle to prevent overheating.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Faulty drying temperature sensor
The NTC thermistor used to monitor the drying temperature may be damaged or worn.
Loose or damaged wiring
Wiring between the sensor and control board may be loose or damaged.
Drying heater issue
If the heater cannot reach the correct temperature, the machine may trigger the error.
Control board problem
The electronic control module may fail to process signals from the temperature sensor.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Before contacting a technician, there are a few simple checks you can perform.
Restart the washing machine
- Turn the appliance off.
- Switch off the power supply at the wall socket.
- Wait several minutes.
- Restore power and start another cycle.
Run a wash-only programme
If the machine works normally during washing but fails during drying, the issue may be limited to the drying system.
