Hoover Performa Eco 1000 Bb Stopping In Program - Heater Faulty?
My Hoover Performa Eco 1000 BB recently began to stop shortly into a program and refuse to go any further. This did not happen when I turned the thermostat down to '0', so I assume that the heater is broken (?).
If it is the heater, is this a repair that a DIY/electrically-competent 'amatuer' could tackle? If not, what sort of money would I be looking at to have it repaired? (i.e. is it worth me thinking about getting a new washing machine instead of the repair?)
Any thoughts/advice welcome, thanks.

If you aren't getting a reading accross the heating element terminals then yes, that's the culprit. Heaters usually show about 40 Ohms. Like you said, you should get some reading. If it's completely open circuit it must be faulty.
Can you confirm the exact model number so I can double check I gave you the right price before? The model number should be behind the door or on the control panel but it should be something like AB100.

Andy - received the heater (VERY quick, thanks ), put it in (straightforward job): problem solved . Saved me a LOT of cash, thanks again for all the advice and help.
The heating element for AB100 is 1850W (part number 91211045) £19.50

It is the Hoover AB100, thanks.
The connections all looked fine, but there is nothing across the heater connections - I assume from other posts that I should get a reading of 20-40 Ohms (or at least some indication of a closed circuit.) Can I now assume the element is dead or is it worth me testing to see if there is a voltage across the element when a programme is running? Otherwise I'll order the part and replace it.
