sgs5302 water not heating?

My bosch sgs5302Gb dishwasher is not heating up the water, and is taking a very long time to run through the cycle.
Any ideas what is likely to be at fault? Heating element? thermostat ?

It will be a bad solder joint on the control board Check out http://www.reviewcentre.com/review11826.html Just soldered mine and it works a treat.

I had the same problem and checked everything, but in the end it was the control panel. Ordered a new part and fitted it and worked fine since then. Dishwasher is now 9 years old and going strong.
