Thank you. 😀

Now to decide whether to get a Siemens engineer £89 + cost of part or a perhaps a local one (not the one who said it was the control board) Although when he took the top of the machine off he did point with his screwdriver to a black plastic part with wires coming from it and said ‘there’s your problem’ He also tested it with a meter????

Sorry, but I don’t hold with that diagnosis nor can you simply “test it with a meter”…. It’s not possible short of removing the complete control panel, unhooking the module from the panel, disconnecting several securing cable ties and finally removing the circuit boards own protective covers to peer inside at the printed circuit board and its surface components.

To access and test the heater the complete front panel including door has to be removed. You cannot test it from the top or from the back. You cannot even get at it from underneath unless you remove a heavy metal baseplate, which I doubt was ever attempted TBH…..all a bit suspect. :rolls:

I think I will ask a Siemens engineer to carry out the work this time. 😕
