Hoover Logic 1000 Washing Machine - Problem with heat?

After I select a programme the machine goes to heat ( the heat light comes on) after a few seconds and stays on heat.
I can feel the heat building up in the water in the machine and I can also hear it.
This happens on any programme including the spins.
Anyone help?
Regards,
Brian.

I have only ever once seen this before and it was in a house where they were on old style fuses so it did not trip out, I had actually gone to fit a door seal as it had been leaking but after fitting it the machine did the same thing it took me ages to find it but the seal had leaked onto the heater and shorted causing a burn from the negative heater terminal down to earth and as the heater switched on the negative it became powered up all the time.
