AEG Lavamat 10500VI - Advice on how to replace the heating element?
Hello all,
I am new here, so apologies if this topic is covered elsewhere.
I strongly suspect the heating element in my Lavamat 10500VI is shot and I'd like to replace it. I have searched and searched and cannot find a relevant YouTube video and I cannot find the Service Manual. The machine doesn't open from the back, only from the top and a small panel at the front, so none of the videos I found were helpful.
Does anyone have some tips, links or the service manual?
Thanks!

AEG Lavamat 10500VI heater replacement advice
- The problem
- The owner of an AEG Lavamat 10500VI suspected the heating element had failed because the washing machine was not heating water, and asked how to access and replace the heater as the machine did not open from the back.
- Likely cause
- A faulty heating element was suspected by the owner, but this was not confirmed. The accepted reply stated that replacing the heater without testing would be guesswork.
- What fixed it
- Do not replace the heating element unless it is first proven faulty. The recommended action was to test the heater with a continuity meter and preferably also an insulation test meter. Access location may vary by design; the reply noted that many heaters are fitted at the front under the door seal, while some are at the back. The exact repair was not confirmed.

- Insulation test of the heating element

Hello. Service manuals aren’t available. You shouldn’t replace the heater unless you can determine it is faulty by testing it with a continuity test meter and preferably also an insulation test meter. Otherwise you are just guessing and could be wrong.

As for getting access to it that might be difficult or not too bad depending on how it’s designed. Most are at the front under the door seal and some can be at the back.
