What E SH
actually means.
On UniMac extractors with a temperature sensor, E SH turns off heating and all sensor-based steps for the rest of the cycle. The sensor, its wiring or water in a connector can cause a shorted reading.

What to do when E SH shows on the commercial applianceKind of codeSensors and probes
A probe is handing the controller a reading it cannot trust, or none at all: a box or coil sensor torn loose from its clip, a fryer probe coated in carbon from oil left too long between filterings, a combi core probe with a kinked cable, or a connector gone green from steam and cleaning chemicals. The unit then runs on, stops, or shuts the heat or the cooling off to protect itself. Letting it cool and restarting it as the manual describes is fair; a probe that still reads wrong sits behind a panel, and that is a visit.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from UniMac's own guidance for E SH on its commercial appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Let the machine finish and check whether the load needs rewashing.
Power it down and up to see whether the reading returns to normal.
Book a visit if E SH comes back, since the sensor is reached from inside the cabinet.
Still there?
It usually turns into commercial controls and board repair. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
E SH does not mean the machine is dangerously hot; the reading itself is the problem. Its partner code E oP covers an open sensor.

A booking with a code goes further when it has the code as shown, the model and serial from the data plate, and a word on whether the unit still holds temperature, heats, rinses or spins. With those three, the office can match the likely part to your unit the same day.
