Testing and replacing element in Bosh integrated washing machine - WIS24141GB
I have a Bosh integrated washing machine, WIS24141GB/54 which has decided to stick on the wash part of a heated cycle, for hours and hours on end (could go on forever maybe, but I got bored and aborted the cycle after 4 hours!).
I’m pretty confident that it’s the element at fault, especially as Bosch have replaced the original part with a new one (according to their parts search).
What I can’t find is, how do I access the element inside one of these integrated machines; is it via the front or the back panel? I’d rather not remove the front only to find it was the back.
Part diagram *seems* to suggest it’s accessed from behind, but would anyone be able to confirm this please?
Also, given the low cost, is it worth replacing the NTC too?

Bosch WIS24141GB wash cycle hangs on heated programmes
- The problem
- Bosch integrated washing machine WIS24141GB/54 was reported to remain in the wash stage on heated cycles for several hours, with the cycle aborted after around 4 hours.
- Likely cause
- The original poster suspected a faulty heating element. The accepted reply did not confirm the fault, but indicated that the parts diagram suggesting rear access was likely correct. Replacing the NTC was considered reasonable, though no fault was confirmed for it either.
- What fixed it
- Accepted advice was to access the heater from the rear if the diagram shows it there, and that replacing the NTC at the same time would not hurt. No completed repair or confirmed fix was posted.
- Checks to try
- Cycle remained on wash during heated programmes for several hours
- Parts diagram appeared to show the element was accessed from the rear
- Back panel removal was suggested to confirm access location
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Heating element
- NTC
- Back panel
Safety: Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply before removing panels. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Hello. It wouldn't hurt to replace the NTC too. If the diagram show it at the back that's where it should be. Many are at the front too. Taking the back panel off should be easy and easy to see although built in ones can be very awkward to get out. If it's hard wired into a socket take the fuse out as well as turning off at switch and double check it's not live.
