I have found on the last few I done the ones with the old grey rear ntc sensor on the element . The grey ntc was the trouble . I carry one of the new type black moulded plastic ntc that I took of an element which was broken . It’s the 2 pin blue connector . I just take lid of machine remove 2 pin blue connector reconnect the black moulded one in it’s place hang it out over back of machine and start if it heats I know that the fault is the ntc . Then I take the back cover off and fit a new element .
Possibly element with baked on limescale or washing powder so can’t reach temperature in allocated time . Or faulty ntc does not think water warm enough .Also a faulty pressure switch allowing more water than usual to enter machine so again can’t reach temperature in allocated time . Put it through a cold wash and if timer don’t increase you know has to be one of these . Also water siphoning if drain hose to low so has to keep filling .
Usually happen just before the final rinse shows as a e3 but it you turn selector dial to off and turn back on quickly to a different programme will show as an e16 . Testing element for continuity or earth leakage won’t show as a fault , but resistance is either to high or to low so it triggers a fault code . Change heating element and all will be good . Not sure what accepted ohms readings PCB is programmed to accept as normal
Thanks for that took old resistor out the value is 47R 10{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} but does not say what watt it is , bit of it blew of may have been printed there .
