Water Temperature Sensor (NTC Thermistor)
The F05 code specifically triggers when the NTC thermistor's resistance value deviates from the programmed parameters in the control board. This sensor is located in the heating element housing or the tub; if it fails, the machine cannot safely determine water temperature and enters a lockout state. Replacing the sensor restores the circuit's feedback loop to the controller.

Central Control Unit (CCU)
If the NTC sensor is functional, the logic board's internal processing circuit for temperature sensing may have failed. The CCU interprets the analog resistance of the thermistor as digital data; a failure in the board's resistors or microprocessor will result in a persistent F05 error despite a new sensor.

Thermistor Wire Harness
Corrosion at the terminal pins or wire fatigue due to the high-vibration environment of the outer tub can cause intermittent or permanent continuity loss. A break in the harness between the NTC and the CCU mimics a failed sensor, triggering the safety lockout and F05 code.
