Hotpoint WDL540G washer/dryer not heating water, element replacement did not cure fault
- The problem
- A Hotpoint WDL540G washer/dryer was reported as not heating the water. The owner replaced the heating element, but the appliance still did not heat and no fault code was shown.
- Likely cause
- The exact cause was not confirmed. The accepted reply indicates the original heater should have been meter-tested before replacement and notes that similar cases can occur with no error code, but no definite failed component or wiring fault was identified in this thread.

Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
