Heating element fault — water not heating

Unplug the washer and remove the rear panel to expose the heating element terminals at the tub base
Inspect the element for heavy limescale, blistering, or a burnt terminal
Measure element resistance across the two terminals — an open reading means a failed element
Verify the element is earthed and check its wiring back to the board for heat damage
Replace the heating element and gasket if it reads open or shows scale-cracked sheathing
Pro Diagnostic Tip
Hard-water scale is the usual killer here. When replacing the element, run an empty hot maintenance wash with descaler monthly afterward to protect the new part.
