Hotpoint WF541 keeps running

[jimbo3172]

Hi

I have a Hotpoint WF541 washing machine which works perfectly at lower temperature washes. But if you set any wash above 60 degrees, the machine just keeps going and never stops.

In my mind I would think the fault would be the heater element which appears to be part of the pump.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Heater fault yes but not part of the pump

Yes remove rear White lower panel. It's right in front 3 wires on it and a 8 mm nut.

Good news is I found the heater and have replaced it.

Bad news is the problem is still there. I don't think it is related to hotter washes now, it just seems to be on most programmes it won't stop running.
I can set it to pump out manually and it will. I can set it to spin and it spins but on a programme it just keeps going .

Any ideas?

Many thanks
