Bosch Classixx 1400 washing machine stopped heating water.

Hello there,

My Bosch Classixx 1400 (WAE281) stopped heating water ever since I moved house. It completes the cycle fine though.
Naively I replaced the washer element only to discover this did not rectify the problem. Can anyone suggest what else could be causing the problem? I did recently move house and the washer may have received some knocks.

Any advice would be greatly received.

Thanks

Based on that information I would venture to suggest a wire or wires may have become disconnected or worse still that the control module may have suffered irreparable damage? 😕

Thanks for your reply.
If some solder has come loose from the control board is that something I could see? I’m reluctant to give up on my washing machine just yet so any further advice on things I could try to fix it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

have you tried it on a very hot programme that way if it does heat you can feel it
not sure how this machine handles no heat some machines stop and wait other machines like Zanussi move through prog even it heater does not work

long shot i assume where you lived before it was plumbed into cold water. as a test if you are unsure was the washing still warm at the end of the programme?

Thanks.
The machine is cold water filled. It seems to complete a wash cycle just fine but the water is definitely cold, even on hottest wash. I do wonder if the thermostat might be broken?

thermostat on these machine is electronic normally mounted on the heater check for broken wires

seems very strange that it heated ok before the move and not after you are sure it was not plumbed into hot water in old house by mistake ( get that all the time been to a lady a few weeks ago had machine plumbed wrong way round for over 10 years ) in old house if clothes were warm at the end of wash then thats it

you can check board for contact damage around heater relay. it could be heater relay failed
there is so many if’s that unless you know what you are doing it gets complicated
