Re: WML540 Heater

Heater O/C will not give error codes, it will just stick on the wash, they must have been moving it on.

This is mentioned in the Error Codes thread. 😉

I had one on the van so didn’t look through codes to be honest.She didn’t mention that she moved it on just that it took over 2 hours for a 30 degree wash.
Oh well,cheers BG

Re: WML540 Heater

seems a much more common failure on the hotpoints now
wonder why?
i did have one that consistently blew heaters turned out the front half of the drum was from a washer dryer but as this was a washer there was a difference in the soap disp hose so the machine would not fill correctly
i wonder if the heater failure is a result of lower water levels?

Re: WML540 Heater

These machines certainly don’t use much water in a wash,as the drum is turning and creating air pockets in the water there could be a fair amount of the element ecposed at times perhaps,excellent,food for thought DDSDDS !

They seem to go when the customer does a 90 degree wash. Certainly thats a pattern Im seing.

(Also on the WF & WT series.)
