    As Martin says megger the heater, the dryer heater, if its low it will cause problems.
    Not sure of the machine as theres no 4270, but I presume its a ZWD14270W.
    The dryer heaters are notorious for causing erronious faults & causing wash programme to stall.
    Isolate appliance from power.
    After noting wiring positions of cables to dryer element, disconnect them & insulate them.
    Try wash programme to see if it runs normally, if it does & goes faulty when cables connected to dryer element you’ve found the fault.

    It should indeed show up in a general Megger test at the plugtop, only needs to be less than 40 meg.

    It will work as a washer without the dryer heater connected as far as I remember. But now that you’ve sussed it why not stick in a dryer heater & completely repair it.
