Apparently the heating element in my washing machine has "gone". As the machine is only just over three years old this is annoying.
Is it reasonable to expect the element to last longer than this, especially given it's only used a couple of times a week, or is this pretty much par for the course? The machine is a John Lewis one, which I think means it is actually made by Electrolux.
My last washing machine lasted about 10 years with no faults until it gave up the ghost!
I know it's a simple enough repair etc, I just wondered if it was unusual for the element to go after only three years.
