I have a hoover hed6612 (dishwasher), it seems to go through the motions until the end of rinse, where it has the first 3 lights on (excluding dry) and beeps a good few times,it does not do the drying process. I have tried the stat and heating element for continunity,everything showing ok. Please can someone help?

Hi,
You seem to be looking at the right things.
PDF of manual - Last page gives error of 3 lighrs meaning temperature sensor fault or element fault.
There are usually 2 temperature sensors fitted. One is "running" and the other a safety cut out.
Check both are ok and closed when cool.
It is possible the element is faulty - causing too much current draw - which is sensed and prevents use.
I would replace the element if it is older than 3 years, as the temperature sensors are usually all or nothing devices.

- Hi,
I've just checked the values of the element - and it should be in the region - 28 to 33 Ohms. Also check resistance of insulation - element to outside steel. It should be in the high megohm range.

If the element and temp switch are ok, you need to check the power control board for this area, to see if any components look to have been physically hot. It's obviously not happy with what it "sees", so could be a power issue - or a sensing issue at fault. If it seems to be working, then it may be a sensing issue - problem with the control board giving a false error.
