Proline pdw080 stuck timer & no heat?

Hi folks

I’m experiencing a couple of problems with my Proline PDW080s Dishwasher.

The first fault to manifest was a sticking timer. However, can manually click the washer through a cycle.

The second fault to appear was a lack of water heating.

I have tested the heater element and get a resistance reading of .40 (at x2 setting. I don’t have a x1 setting!). I have also tested the timer motor which is giving an infinity reading. I was unable to test the thermostats due to their inaccessible location.

I’m fairly confident that the timer motor has died, but unsure about the heater. Could the lack of water heater have something to do with the defective timer? I have run the machine on a hot cycle by manually turning the control knob and checked the water temp at each stage, but it just stays cold.

Any advice on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Richard

I had the same problem, and found a fix on a forum advising to replace the thermostats, did this today and I have a working dishwasher again. Parts from Partmaster, and around £17 for a pair of them inc. delivery
