Our Hoover Dishwasher got stuck in mid cycle last night. A quick diagnosis
revealed a hole blown in the element. I've removed the element but before I
spend out on a new one, does anyone think that the resultant short may have
damaged some other part of the machine (controller?). As the machine is
around eight years old I would hate to spend out around 30 quid on a new
element only to find I should have put it to towards a new machine instead!

I've put a voltmeter across the element wires & run the machine up, but I'm
not sure at what point the element should come on, also would there be a
voltage with no water in the machine?


Hi

If you know how to do it safely you can put a lightbulb on in lieu of
the element, and cycle the machine to see if its just the elephant
thats cooked.

I'd be happy to spend £30 on an 8 y/o machine, 8 years isnt that old,
and £30 isnt that much.
