Washing Machine Heating Element
Replacement washing machine heating element with NTC thermistor – compatible with AEG, Electrolux, John Lewis, Tricity Bendix & Zanussi as shown unless advised otherwise
Description
This genuine washing machine heating element is a direct replacement for the heater assembly found in a wide range of AEG, Electrolux, John Lewis, Tricity Bendix and Zanussi washing machines.
The element heats the water during the wash cycle and is typically mounted at the bottom of the outer tub. This unit comes supplied with the NTC thermistor sensor that determines the wash temperature, ensuring accurate water temperature control for efficient stain removal and detergent activation.
Over time, heating elements can fail due to limescale build-up, which insulates the element and causes it to overheat and burn out. Common symptoms include the machine taking a very long time to complete a cycle, the wash cycle stalling or aborting because the water never reaches the set temperature, error codes related to heating faults, or the appliance tripping the electrics when the heater activates.
Technical Notes
Specifications: Power rating: 1950W; Voltage: 240V; Contains NTC Sensor Thermistor; Double Tag Type; Earth Tag x2; Full length of element: 270mm; Length of element to bracket: 235mm; Width of element: 65mm; Length of element to tubular bend: 180mm.
Fitment guidance: This heating element is designed for the AEG, Electrolux, John Lewis, Tricity Bendix and Zanussi models listed below. It may also fit models not shown here. Even if an element looks similar, it may not be compatible – always verify your model number. The model number and, in some cases, the PNC (Product Number Code) or serial number, can usually be found on a rating plate on the inner door frame, behind the kickplate at the base, or on the rear panel of the appliance.
Diagnostic tip: Before replacing the element, test it with a multimeter set to the resistance (ohms) setting. Disconnect the appliance from the mains, access the element, and place the meter probes onto the element terminals. A healthy 1950W element should read approximately 27–30 ohms. A reading of OL or infinite resistance confirms the element has failed. Also check the NTC sensor – a working sensor should read between 20,000 and 50,000 ohms at room temperature. If the element tests correctly but the machine still does not heat, check the wiring and control board.
Installation guide: Always disconnect the appliance from the mains before starting any repair. Access the heating element from the rear of the machine – remove the back panel by unscrewing the screws. Disconnect the wiring from the element terminals, noting their positions. Unscrew the centre nut on the element – do not remove it entirely, just loosen it. Carefully lever the rubber seal away from the drum using a flat pry tool, then pull the old element out. Clean the lip of the tub opening before fitting the new element. Lubricate the new seal with a little washing-up liquid, insert the element into the tub, ensuring the bracket locates correctly, and tighten the nut firmly but do not overtighten. Reconnect the wiring, refit the back panel, and run a hot cycle to check for leaks and correct heating.

Washing Machine Heating Elements
The water heating element in your washing machine or washer dryer essentially heats the water to the preset temperature, determined either by the selected wash programme or the temperature set if you have a separate control.
To test most heating elements, a simple continuity check is sufficient. If the heater has a circuit and is functioning correctly, it will pass the test. However, it’s important to note that there are exceptions to this rule. For example, earth leakage on a heating element can cause issues, particularly with more modern electronically controlled washing machines and washer dryers.
Can't Find The Heating Element You Need
Most washing machine heating elements are reasonably easy to identify and order, then replace. However, some heating elements change, so the new one may not look like the old one. This isn’t uncommon, making identification solely on images difficult, if not impossible.
While we strive to make it as simple as possible for you to buy a washing machine heating element by providing you with as much and the most up-to-date information as possible, it’s important to remember that heating elements can change, and we wouldn’t want you to be surprised. Therefore, we strongly advise you to get in touch and ask us before ordering to confirm that a part is suitable. It doesn’t take very long and can save you hassle and potentially money.
Please use our contact page or email us. This allows us to look up the heating element you need and find any low-cost compatible washing machine spares. This way, you can get the best options and prices possible.
IMAGES AND SIZES ARE FOR INFORMATION ONLY
Component parts may vary in shape and size to the images shown as parts are model-specific and subject to change or alteration at any time without notice. This spare part will only fit the models as described in the listing unless specifically advised otherwise by us.
Also note that some washing machine heating elements and their components can alter depending on the model and serial numbers or product codes so please, take care when ordering and don't rely solely on images as they pretty much all look the same!
