Washing Machine Not Heating Water — Heater, Sensor, Board

You set a 60°C wash but clothes come out cold and stains remain? The machine isn't heating water. Baku's hard water is the heating element's worst enemy — limescale builds up and eventually burns it out.

Heating element (TEN) — limescale or burnout

Hard water creates a thick limescale layer on the heater, blocking heat transfer. The element overheats and fails. Test with a multimeter: normal resistance is 20-50 Ohm.

Prevention: Run an empty 90°C cycle with vinegar every 2-3 months.

Temperature sensor (NTC)

A faulty sensor sends wrong readings — the board won't activate heating or may overheat the water.

Control board

If heater and sensor are fine, the board's heating relay has failed — usually from power surges.

Heater replacement takes 30-40 minutes. Washing machine repair — 055 958 38 39
