Temperature sensor (NTC) out of range

Unplug the dishwasher and locate the NTC sensor threaded into the Haier sump or wash-water path
Measure its resistance cold and compare against the rated value, replacing it when the reading is open, shorted, or far off
Reseat the sensor connector and check for corrosion that raises resistance and pushes the reading out of range
Inspect the harness where it passes the sump for a pinch or melt point that alters the signal
Clear E5 after the sensor tests within range, then run a hot cycle to confirm the temperature climbs normally
Pro Diagnostic Tip
Haier pairs E5 (sensor out of range) with E3 (no heat) on the same NTC, so when both appear together suspect the sensor connector first, since one loose plug throws the pair at once.
