8588071658013 Genuine NTC Temperature Sensor for Electrolux Group Washer Dryers and Washing Machines, NTC Thermistor

Genuine Electrolux part 8588071658013 is an NTC temperature sensor, described as an NTC thermostat for WD use, which points to Electrolux group washer dryers. An NTC sensor reports temperature to the control board as a changing resistance. No model list is on file, so match 8588071658013 to your machine's parts list or the number on the old sensor before ordering.

Signs of a faulty NTC sensor in a washer dryer

Laundry appliances use NTC sensors to measure water or air temperature, so the control board can switch the heater on and off at the right time. As the sensor warms up, its resistance drops, and the board reads that change. A failed sensor or a broken wire can stop the machine heating, leave it overheating, stall a drying phase, or bring up an error code on the display. Measuring the sensor's resistance against a known chart and checking the plug for corrosion will help confirm the fault.

Replacing the sensor

Unplug the machine and turn off the taps before you open it. The sensor is usually pushed into the tub, heater area or air duct with a rubber grommet or clip, so note its position and how deep it sits. Transfer the wiring plug, fit the new sensor snugly, and run a warm program to check it heats normally without errors.

Questions about this part

How do I test an NTC sensor?

Unplug the machine, disconnect the sensor and measure its resistance with a multimeter. The reading should drop smoothly as the sensor warms. An open circuit, a short or a reading far from the expected value for the temperature means it needs replacing.
