Ok replaced the heating element – same symptoms so I think must be the control board. Time for a new machine I think

Thanks. I don’t have one of those :-). May have to call someone out. I did just run a 40 cycle with my multimeter attached to the heating element poles and measured no AC voltage at any point. So I’m guessing the control board is broken – it’s not even trying the heating element

Good tip! It’s definitely something to do with the heating circuit as the cold wash runs through fine. I’ve taken out the heater element, cleaned it and checked the impedance (33 ohms) and also checked the thermostat impedance changes as I hold it in a warm hand (around 4.4k ohms). No luck though – still the same symptoms. Any way to work out if I need a new heating element or control board? The latter would probably be so expensive that I’d get a new machine instead
