    I wouldn’t think so? More usually its the ‘water point’ unit attached to the heater unit that jams. 😉

    Have you lifted off the top spray tube from behind the bottom spray arm and had a shufty into the heater box? The cam unit alternates between top spray and bottom spray every 55 seconds or so during wash. They can stick or get stuck if some herbert has left a dishwasher tablet cellophane and it’s got stuck in the cam? :rolls:

    Otherwise it’s a new Heater Unit job coming your way I expect….nice one! 😉

    Had a problem with one of these not rotating top spray arm and not heating. Read this post, applied logic and thought I’d found the one part that would solve both problems! However, fitted new heater box and the water is now being diverted correctly, top spray arm doing its thing but still no heat. Would it be thermistor or is it likely to be a module fault? Regards, Kez.

    Solder joints on the PCB heater relay are a known point of failure on these.

    Would that stop it heating?

    If your suggestion is to cure his top spray arm problem I think Kez has already sorted that one. 😉
