    We have a WVT1260 washer dryer – all seems to work OK but the programs are taking way too long to complete.
    The display shows the correct time to completion (e.g. 120mins) but the program is taking twice the time it should..

    Has anyone seen this before?
    Thanks..

    Is this on a wash cycle ? It sounds like a heating element failure. You will need to check the resistance of the wash heater and it should be approx 25 – 35 ohms . If it reads open circuit then there’s your problem.

    Thanks nomadPaul – yep element is O/C – you’re a genius.
    Do you know if I need to take the whole front off this model to remove it, or will the element pull out of the aperture covered by the bottom panel?
    Many thanks..

    The front needs to come off. 1 screw behind the soap drawer , 1 holding the bottom panel on and the either 2 or 4 on the bottom corners. You will also need to release the front retaining ring for the door seal.
    Once the panels off , all will be revealed. The heater has a pressure seal so the best way to get it out is to disconnect all connections , undo the middle nut until its almost on the end of the threaded shaft then give it a gentle tap to push the thread in….this should take a lot of the pressure off the seal and then its a case of wiggling it out.
