Hi Machineman,
Had the same problem with a Zanussi D/w couple of weeks ago,No visable sign of damage on the PCB, Heater circuit ok but it turned to be the board in the end. Not a cheap repair! 😯
cheers goose the heater did come on for a few mins had this horrible feeling it would be the board.why does it go all thro the prog without heat , you would think it would stick on a heat pause? m
Thats what confused me as usually the program would stick at the heat phase 😮 and the one I went to also heated for a few minuets then stopped. I Think when I fitted the new board it again heated for few mins and the stopped but after a short time it started to heat again and finished the prog.
