How do you remove heater element for Candy go282 washing machine to check for limescale build up?

Only wanted to check limescale buildup on element as washing machine quite often stops mid wash and flashes the lights 3 times, was told it could be buildup of limescale on element so did check but wasn't much on it. Cleaned it anyway but still problem persists along with going on to a different cycle than the one selected so it must have a few problems :-(

pointless disturbing the element,just to check for limescale.if the element has faild then yes.do you live in a hard water area?.take a look at the element in your electric kettle.if you are concerned about lime scale issues fit a filter to the cold feed pipe on the washer,or simply buy the hard water tablets to add to your wash.
