The water is heated via a "inductive heater" and not the usual heating elements. This heating device is at the bottom back of the dishwasher and is a cyliderical +/- 15 cm long metal tube. It can easly be removed by the wire clamps at each end. It does have electrical push on connector that just plugs out. If the electrical connections are good I suggest you replace it with a new one (if you can get one).

AEG F60870 not giving an error but only heats the water on 30 wash. If I use auto the dishes come out cold and properly clean.

Hi,

Please double check that no other water-using device nearby is having trouble putting out heated water. If this is the case, please attempt other wash cycles that require hot water as well (you can cut of the cycle once the water temperature has been checked).

If the issue persists, please schedule a home appointment with home depot in order to check whether the dishwasher can be repaired or whether it needs to be replaced.

Thank you.

Aeg favorit FSS62800P water not heating. I have taken of the front panel to expose the control box, but I can’t even see a relay in there. Wondering whether to buy a new control unit at £90, heating...

You can test the element which is the most likely failure, but you need a multimeter set to ohms (resistance). An element is a coil that resists electricity and heats up. You disconnect the leads to the heater element and it should show resistance, movement on the dial or a figure on a digital multimeter. If the element has failed, there will be no reading at all.

If it worked before, it will be probably be worth fixing, but don't just blindly buy parts in the HOPE it might fix it. Diagnose and replace, or call a service tech.

AEG F60873 temperature problems.

The problem when the dishwasher does not heat is failure which requires to remove the qualified personnel and therefore error code is not shown on the display but it is visible in the service mode.

Possible error causes:
faulty heating element
wiring between heating element and PCB
PCB (printed circuit board)

Candy DWI 160 dishwasher water not heating.

the only things is the TIMER: CAN BE FAULTY, maybe is stuck, not completely the cycle.
Clean the contact with special spray, loose the wires, replace burn wires, or break wires.

Dishwasher not heating water already replaced in line heater element no change

Hello

Possible causes;

Incoming Water; Most manufacturers recommend that the water coming into your dishwasher be at least 120 degrees Fahrenheit. If the water is too cold, then your dishes don't clean properly. Or the dishwasher must run longer to heat up the water. Test the water temperature by running the hot water on your faucet for about 2 minutes or until it gets really hot. Place a waterproof thermometer under the water. If the water is too cold, increase the water temperature setting on your water heater.

Thermostat;The thermostat is responsible for regulating the water and drying cycle temperature. If this thermostat isn't working, the heating element at the base of the dishwasher tub may not come on. Test this element by selecting the hottest temperature setting. Run the dishwasher on the shortest cycle. Let the dishwasher run for a few minutes, and open it up. If the dishwasher water is not hot or the drying cycle isn't starting, order a new thermostat from a parts dealer since this component is difficult to fix.

Heating Element/Drying Fan; The heating element heats up the water and air. Access this element by removing the bottom rack. It looks like a long black rod. If any part of this component is broken or corroded, you must order a new one. You usually cannot fix this element. The drying fan is located in the main housing of the dishwasher, and it blows air around your dishes to dry them. Check this part by disconnecting the dishwasher from the power supply and opening up the housing. Examine the fan, and see if any dirt or debris is preventing it from moving. Clean it. If the fan won't turn at all or if the motor is burnt out, order a new fan since it's difficult to repair this part.

If your dishwasher isn't drying your dishes properly, see if you have selected a heated drying cycle. An air drying cycle doesn't completely dry your dishes. Never overload the dishwasher, as this prevents heat from circulating around your dishes, keeping them from drying properly. Plastic and Teflon

Dishwasher cycle runs: tablet is not dissovlved, dishes dirty

If the dry cycle has a problem, check these:

Heating element
Drying fan
Thermostat
Heating element Your dishwasher has an electrical heating element that helps to dry the dishes. If the element is burned out, the dishes won't dry properly, and you need to replace the element.

Drying fan Many high-priced dishwashers have a small fan that blows air or heated air into the dishwasher to speed up the drying process. If the fan is defective, you need to replace it.

Thermostat Some dishwashers have a thermostat that monitors the drying temperature. If the thermostat is defective, the heating element may not cycle on or off properly. If that's the problem, you need to replace the thermostat.

My AEG dishwasher will fill up fine but will not move onto the next stage. It will dispense the cleaning tablet but then won't move onto the rinsing cycle, staying on main until i manually turn it off?

Hi,
The highest percentage of the time, the heating element is failing (or not heating)causing the the timer to not advance.

Try and find a 'reset' switch inside the machine, if no joy, a serviceman may have to be called out to confirm the issue.

Hope this helps?
