How can I fix my AEG Favorit 44070 VI fully integrated dishwaher?

no instructions available
element is in the base towards the back and looks like a stainless steel tube.lay dishwasher on its back and remove the base to gain access or if you are lucky there is a metal piece across the back towards the bottom that removes to gain access.you need to put a multimeter across the terminals on the element and look for a resistance of 29ohms before spending on a new one.if resistance is around 29ohms it is good.sometimes the heater relay on the main pcb in the fascia gets a bad solder joint and needs repairing by resoldering all the joints on and around the relay
