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!
