    Hi
    If you could provide the 12 digit number below the barcode off the door inner, starting 85********** that would be helpful.

    Hi
    I would check the heater first of all as this heats the wash water and aslo the drying rinse water.
    It is an inline instantaneous heater connected from the recirculation pump underneath.

    Un plug appliance if you are to investigate :plug:

    Hi
    You will need a multimeter set to the ohm setting and measure the heater resistence app 20-30 ohms, with appliance un plugged.

    Hi Wayne
    Without sounding negative or rude but by your own admissions you are not sure where to put the meter rods and your meter skills aren’t good.
    We can only safely guide you so far, the rest is down to the individuals ability 🙂

    An engineer visit may be an option at this juncture 😉 see link below.
