I have the same problem which has been diagnosed by an "Engineer" as a faulty heating element??
You can check if yours is the same diagnosis by trying to run a cycle with "No Heat" selected. If the cycle completes then you know it isn;t the pump and may be something else.

It sounds like your pump has a problem, either blocked or needs replacing.
