Had the covers off my 1606 today to investigate what the DCE described as a nauseating smell whilst ironing the laundry.
Heater open circuit so ordered replacement.
Question is should there have been a fault alarm for dud element as the machine was happy to complete the program with cold water.Steve.
Re: 1606 heater + leak
Not sure on the 1606 Steve, I thought they halted the same as the newer ones.
Not in the office so can’t check it for you ATM.

Re: 1606 heater + leak
its funny how so many appliance are unable to pick up something like a heater open circuit yet a problem such as an alternating valve on a smeg dishwasher will bring the whole appliance to a stop. I think most people would be happier if their dishwasher or whatever continued on regardless. Indesit and Hotpoint are the same with regard to the heater as are most others.
Re: 1606 heater + leak
Interesting, replaced a open circuit heater today on a Hoover washer she said it only flashes the fault code f18 when she does the 60 or 90 degree washes on the other programmes it just carries on.
I think most people wash cold(30°c)now days so they are totally unaware of not heating faults.
