    Cheers mate, just got a heating element error on my 12 year old indesit which has served me well, was wondering how to check it. Always trust a fellow Welshman.

    Great video thanks my heater looks of but the copper coil on the motor is abit black do you think this is the cause of my electrics tripping out for my house

    I don't suppose you know the normal resistance range for the thermostat of this model? I'm getting 17k at room temperature and it decreases as it gets hotter. Washer gets stuck in fill cycle like it's waiting for water to get hot but it doesn't stop. Tested heater element and it's perfect within the ranges you quote.

    Hi Simon, nice video. You seem like a pro. Could you help me out?
    my heating element seems to work fine (27 Ohm), my NTC also works well (Ohm reading is getting lower with higher temps). When my washing machine is running on a hot program, there is current flowing through my heating element (indicated by my voltage finder). However: the water in my machine still does NOT GET WARM. What could be going on here?

    washer machines have heating elements? I always thought the cold hot lines regulate the temperature in the washer.

      Yes they do. Don't know where you are, but in the UK they have cold lines only.

    Hello, the element of my washing machine give me 30.7 ohms but the multimeter does not beep, ( I already checked my multimeter is in continuity mode) what does this mean?

      Hi, does your multimeter bleep if you touch the two prongs together?

      @@jaseduar continuity essentially means short circuit so it will beep on most decent multimeters if under 5 ohms. 20 - 30 ohms isn't continuity so don't worry if it doesn't beep
