My washing machines appears to work normally but it does not heat the water. I have cheked the element and thermostat with a tester and they both had continuity, but there was no mains power reaching the element. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Thanks Airkool.

I have checked the heating wiring and removed and reinserted all the wiring connectors on the PCB. I couldn't see anything wrong. However, when I used the machine this morning on a 40C wash it appeared to heat the water during the first cycle (the door glass was hot), but subsequent fills were all cold again. I used it again on a 30C wash, but it was cold from the start again. Hmm. :O/

check wiring from heater to pcb for any breaks and check pcb
