Unbe****inglievable. I put the very next load in after posting this and it
comes back out still dirty. The heating element has gone apparently as the
door is cold to the touch while it's washing. Actually it's probably not the
element or the thing would never get to the wash cycle. More likely the
sensor that says it's hot enough. Can I be arsed to take it apart or just
buy a new one?

Give it a go, you know you want to!
I'd get a voltmeter across the heater terminals while you run a wash
cycle - should be easy to get at with the back off the machine?
Temp sensors just seal with a rubber grommet in the outside of the
plastic tub. Should be easy to see if that's duff.
