You may only notice the lack of heating when clothes come out less clean, or the door stays cold on a hot programme. Heating faults can involve electrical safety, so treat them carefully.
Possible causes
- Failed heating element
- Faulty NTC temperature sensor
- Heavy limescale on the heater
- Faulty heater relay on the board
- A cold or eco programme selected at low temperature
Safe first checks you can do
Safety: unplug the appliance and close the water tap before any check, and never open the outer casing or electronic boards yourself.
- Make sure 40 or 60 °C is selected
- Note whether the breaker trips when heating starts, and stop using it if so
- Don't attempt to test the heater yourself
