IKEA Rengora: Only works ok on fast cycle

[djlm]

Hi, I have a nearly 10 year old Rengora (Prod No 911 535 036, Typ 911D53-1T) dishwasher made by Electrolux. On the 70, 65, 50 degree washes it has stopped heating the water and drying. The heater resistance is ok and it does work on the 30 minute, 65 degree wash. Any advice on where to look next would be gratefully appreciated.

Possible relay soldering on the pcb, its located in the door. Hopefully that could be resoldered if that is the problem because a preconfigured new board is a finger singeing*** £183 part number 973911535036009. Cannot see it being the heater ( part 1560734012 £67) itself since it heats to 65 degrees on the rapid wash.
***If you prove it is the pcb and it is DIY unfixable get a fixed fee price repair quote via Zanussi UK.
From memory you have to remove the pcb wires before you part its plastic container to get at the pcb inside – it unclips – but make sure you mark where the wires go and also take a smart phone photo/s too as a double check. Not visually finding anything wrong with the pcb does not mean it is not still at fault but an expensive mistake if new pcb is bought only to still find no fix.
Unlikely to be broken wires in the door loom but you never know. Can`t really think what else it could be other than the pcb.
