    HI
    The problem I have is the machine gives error code 1 I have found the water heater is not coming on everything else is working (it filles with water the drum turns the spinner works and the pump works fine ) , the element measures ok using a multimeter , what I have found is that the thermistor reads 8 mega ohm when cold and drops to 6 mega ohm in boiling water what I am unable to find is the range these thermistors work in the thermistor is reacting to heat but varying between 8 and 6 M ohm seems very high to me .Can any one help

    e1 on a new wave is usually the heater being slightly down to earth

    do you find the machine wont spin either?

    change the heater, im sure all will be fine

    Power off, first.

    hi
    definately not the heater , meggerd it with the m/c full of water no earth fault in any cause if there was an earth fault then the house elcb would have tripped, I still suspect thermistor or card .

    dont kid yourself

    earth leaks dont always trip the pcb

    when you open the door, does it have 3 lines or just a dot?

    Have you checked the wires to the heater? They can break on the right side where the wires go from the machine to the tub. They can break very neatly so don’t just visually check them physically check as well.

    Power off. Unplug machine as always.

    Hi
    Yes continuity is fine on both wires , no breaks or intermittant breaks
