thanks for the responses.
The machine fills fine, empties fine and heats the water fine. What I
have noticed though is after the machine heats the water to the right
temperature, the heater goes off (which is correct) but then the
machine is still washing the clothes in the same hot water an hour
later. I tested this using a 90 degree wash on the right hand side of
the timer. The heater doesn't come back on once it goes off but the
washing cycle just carries on. It's still washing the clothers in the
same hot water as I write. So my question(s) is:
1) do you think it's the controller?

Likely, cant see why the timing should be miles out just with the ones on the right.

2) should the heater go on and off a few times or just the once?

Dunno, I dont have a front loader and dont heat the water anyway, I only ever cold wash.

I wouldnt expect that it would bother to heat more than once, but dont know that.

thanks for any further pointers.
