Main problem appeared to be arcing between the wire contacts attached to the heater. Replaced heater and contacts but it doesn't heat the water. Is it likely that the pcb was damaged or another component? Any ideas gratefully received since this machine doesn't warrant taking out another mortgage so that the repair man can be called. It's diy or nowt!
