Sounds like a heater fault,
Typically caused by element supports getting damp and collapsing causing heater to short out.
Remove the back panel to have a look at it with the power off.
Normally see this if the pump fails or the water drain channels get blocked, most often when the condenser has not been cleaned properly (does not matter what the manual states it should be cleaned quite often)
Other causes are drum bearing failure and the drum cutting through the back of the machine and cutting the heater wires.
