Washing Machine Water Overheating!

dbrookf

I put on my washing m/c today at normal 40 deg wash and when I came back to check it an hour later it was still washing and the glass was too hot to touch so I switched it off and emptied the water which came out steaming hot - it was like a boil wash! Obviously some clothes ruined, but does anyone know what the problem might be please?

Sounds like the water heater thermostat.

Any other suggestions - it's only 18 months old!

Yes, your water heater thermostat as it has been said.... its burgered, easy fix and if you can source one on line cheap as well.

may machine did this few years back ( oh my machine has had everything replaced almost in 6 years ,lol ) it was a circuit board of something ecu maybe , but somethign electrical,lol. but wasn't very expensive i think it was around £50 for the engineer to sort it all out.

my machine was about 2 days out of the yrs gaurentee, typical.
