Washing Machine: Not Heating Wash But Dryer OK

[earlgreaves]

i have a hotpoint WD63 washer dryer & recently noticed that it doesn't seem to be heating up during the wash cycle. it works fine on a dryer cycle.

would appreciate any advice on identifying & fixing the problem. the machine is about 14 years old so i need to decide if it's worth repairing or if it's time to replace ...

thanks !

You need to remove the top cover consol panel , front panel and door seal . Heater is down the bottom of the drum.
