Has anyone *ever* had their washing machine fail due to limescale?

I have had burst pipes, knackered bearings and seals, worn out brushes
etc but never a failure that I can attribute to limescale. (I live in
a very hard water area)


Me too - the Medway Towns - right between two thumping great chalk ridges.
Never had a limescale failure either.

Second question - how does that bloke manage to remove the element without
getting his overalls dirty?
