    I’m trying to work out if i just need a new heating element r if i have a bigger problem.
    The machine is connected to h & c supplies, but stops if the t/stat is set at 40 degrees – it will continue to work if the t/stat is turned down below the ‘click’ leading me to suspect the element – but why won’t it fill from the hot supply?? I know the hot supply works, because as an experiemt i swapped the h & c around – got a cold wash and a hot rinse..!! Surely the element should not be needed if there is a hot supply – this makes me wonder if the problem lies elsewhere.
    If it is the element, is this a job for a competent DIYer..?
    Hope someone has some ideas..!

    That sounds like a faulty heater to me!

    The machine will only fill with hot water, if you set a very hot water program. Even then, it still uses the heater to boost the water temperture up to whatever is required 😕

    If you want a heater, email…

    spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk

    And unplug the machine before playing, please!

    Meh! I’d give it a 4 (out of five) star difficulty rating. Could you do it? Mehdonno! :con:
