Bosch washing machine

[r.bartlett]

Had a shout from the wife this morning that there was a bad smell from the utility room.

Checked over found the washing machine was the culprit. Looks like the heater rod has burnt. The machine is about 2-3 years old (time flies) so wonder if the machine is a stiffy?



I can get parts etc but is it worth it??

Suggestions most welcome


Cheers

yopur choice.

element and stat will cost less than new m/c

Okay thanks for that.

Looking at the exploded diag it appears that it comes out the front and is retained with the 8mm nut?


If so I guess it's an easy fix for 50 quids worth of bits?

Cheers

cant speak for yours but a hp m/c yes, you undo the heater nut and pull*, but on a hp it has a "plate" on the other end of the heater, if yous does take it from old element and put on new one.

also replace any burnt cables, connections must be crimped

* some times we used to bash the bolt in after undoing /removing the nut, it made it easier to pull out
