I assume thats the part fixed to the side of the heat pump. Any way to test it?

No, the seal was folded under the element, trapped. You can see where the heat had got to it.

My (basic) understanding was to carry out a continuity test with the mutlimeter – displays ‘1’ with no contact and ‘000’ if I tap the probes together. Putting them on the terminals gave me a reading of 29. Which I thought meant it was faulty…being that it should be close to 000? Now hesitant to hit the buy button on the part, as its £60….Dishwasher isn’t getting hot.
