What the NTC interruption error code actually means

Your Bosch washer has detected a problem with the temperature sensor inside the machine. The sensor that monitors how hot the water gets has lost its electrical connection, so the washer cannot tell what temperature the water is. Until this is fixed, the machine will not run normally because it cannot safely control the heating process.

Questions people ask about NTC interruption

What does NTC interruption mean on a Bosch washer?
NTC interruption means the washer's temperature sensor has an open or broken electrical circuit. The NTC thermistor is responsible for sending water temperature readings to the control board. Without this signal, the machine cannot regulate the heater and will stop operation. The fault is confirmed through the Bosch test programme.
Is it safe to use my Bosch washer when this error is showing?
You should not continue running the washer while the NTC interruption error is active. Without a functioning temperature sensor, the machine cannot monitor or control water heat, which creates a risk of overheating the water, damaging the heater element, or harming laundry. Stop using the machine until the fault is diagnosed and resolved.
Will resetting my Bosch washer clear the NTC interruption error?
A reset may temporarily clear the error display, but the fault will return as soon as the machine runs the test programme or attempts a wash cycle that requires temperature monitoring. The underlying open circuit in the NTC sensor or its wiring must be physically repaired or the component replaced before the error will stay resolved.
Can I fix an NTC interruption error myself?
A knowledgeable DIYer can check the wiring connectors and harness for visible damage or loose connections without specialized tools. If the wiring is intact, the NTC thermistor itself will need to be tested and likely replaced, which requires locating the sensor inside the machine and disconnecting it safely. If you are not comfortable working inside an appliance, a qualified technician should handle the repair.
How much does it cost to fix an NTC interruption error on a Bosch washer?
If only the NTC thermistor needs replacement, parts typically cost in the range of $15 to $50 depending on the model. If you hire a technician, total repair costs including labor can range from $80 to $200 or more. Wiring harness repairs or a control board replacement would push costs higher.
