Heater Element for Bosch Washing Machine

Product Information

This brings us nicely onto a pretty common set or problems that we mentioned earlier, complaints about wash results and the user suspecting that this is down to a fault with the heater. There are 2 types of motors fitted to washing machines; brushless motors and motors with carbon brushes. The carbon brushes can wear out over time. With brushless motors, it’s usually the capacitor or motor circuit board which is the issue. Other causes include a faulty drive motor or pump. If you're still not sure on the cause call in a professional to inspect your machine. Washing machine isn't heating the water The timer will signal to the machine when to move to the next phase of the cycle, while the control board will signify what program to use. If either of these is damaged or worn, the machine may continue to run until it's manually stopped. Both parts can be replaced, but the latter should be done by a professional. These will all need to be tested using a PAT tester to see which one is at fault. That component will then need to be replaced. The Fuse Trips When The Spin Cycle Starts

Machines with two pipes are becoming less common as it’s usually more energy efficient for the machine to heat the water itself.We see this problem crop up fairly regularly on the forums and sometimes there is a fault but, often times there’s not. But if you're struggling to fit the machine under your worktop, you could try lowering the machine's adjustable feet to gain an extra few centimetres. As well as being one of the easiest DIY appliance fixes out there, fixing your washing machine element yourself can save you a lot of money compared to booking a repair or buying a new washing machine.

But, in virtually every single instance if the machine does not stop and completes the cycle without any errors then then the heating element in your washing machine is just fine.

As we have explained the wash heater largely either heats or it doesn’t, there’s really no in between and no way for it to affect the performance really. Other than if it's failed obviously but then, that's obvious enough. Now, inspect the drain hose. Typically attached to the waste trap under the sink, the drain hose will be connected via a spigot. Turn off and fully unplug your machine before you do anything. If your machine is mid-cycle when it starts to play up, follow advice in the instruction manual for stopping and draining it. If you are running too many appliances off the same circuit at the same time, it could cause the circuit to trip. For example, running the washing machine and tumble dryer through the same fuse circuit would create a demand for power that exceeds the amperage of that circuit. Using An Extension Cable
