My Zanussi washer dryer WJS 1265 seems to be stopping at random points during the wash cycle. The machine seems to add water without issue but then stops and does not proceed. The amount of water added before the appliance stops and the time during the wash cycle seems to vary at random. Every time this happens I am able to cancel the program down to the final 10 minutes (drain and spin) in order to open the door. Appliance has a digital timer so I am a bit stuck with how to investigate.
EDIT: I ran a 90oC cycle and stopped the machine after the water had been added to the drum; the water was cold. Does this suggest that the heating element is at fault? Assuming so I tried to locate the heating element but was unable to find it. I found the heating element for the tumble dryer and have verified that this is getting hot. Where can I find the element for heating the water? And, would this likely be the cause of the machine stopping?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy
