Dishwasher - Electrolux ESI-600 - sticky timer

Anyone know what this could be:

Dishwasher is fitted and probably 4 years old. Has worked great for 3 years.

Recently it has been stopping 70% of way through program - not a great issue as I just clicked the timer 1 click round and then the cycle completed perfectly.

However after a few weeks of this, it is now stopping after 10%, 30%. 50% and 70% of program, and also it requires several clicks turn of the timer to get anything to happen. This means of course it is missing/ refusing to do large parts of the wash program. So at the end of the program the plates are not clean.

Good points: Water is being expelled ok as there is none left in the machine at the emd of the program. The filters are clean

Bad points: There is no heating going on.

Any ideas? seems you need to be einstein these days to keep the house going...

No-one knows much about dishwashers in the forum then?

looks that way but do see this

Have done a circuit test on heater - and circuit is fine - so maybe thats ok then...

Actually know a lot about dishwashers. However, there are too many variables to answer your query with the limited information given.
It could be a fault on the heating circuit, thermostat open circuit, safety stat tripped, faulty programmer, broken wire or a host of other faults.
You'll have to do some basic fault finding to narrow down the problem and trace the fault.

Hmm doesnt take an Einstein to get your hands wet in the sink !
