Ariston Washing Machine Heater Element – 1800W Important: Use the “Check this part fits your appliance” box above to make sure this product fits your appliance. The water heating element in your washing machine or washer dryer essentially heats the water to the preset temperature determined either by the wash program selected or the temperature set if you have a separate control to allow you to do that. To test most heating elements it is a simple continuity check, either the heater has a circuit and is okay or it is open circuit and therefore faulty. However, it should be noted that there are some exceptions to this simple rule and things such as earth leakage on a heating element can cause issues, especially on more modern electronically controlled washing machines and washer dryers. This part is a genuine spare part made by the original manufacturer. Safety Always unplug your appliance before beginning work and replacing any parts. Suitable for a range of Ariston Washing Machines.
