Hi!First of all I wanted to thank you for the video on yt about cleaning the drum seal, hoses and dish washer tablets. That helped a lot! Thank you. I also recommended your video for friends and they have followed your tips now as well.My question, my electrolux ufw47k8141 washing machine does not seem to heat the water. I have tried the 90 deg program several times and the glass does not get even slightly warm and the smell we have had are still there, my guess is that it is only washing with cold water which does not seem very effective.I have read that I can check the resistance on my heating element if there is a resistance or not. Do you have any other tip for checking why water not getting warm? The machine is 6 years old. Warranty just pasted.Answer much appreciated.Best regardsAdam

I will try and help with this problem about Electrolux UFW47K8141 Washing Machine,
Hi Adam,
Thanks for reaching out. I’m glad you enjoy the YouTube channel. I’ve added a couple of videos below to help you diagnose the problem with your heating element. It’s straightforward. If the element is a 2-kilowatt one, you’ll need to do an ohms reading. You should get around 20,000 ohms. You can use the ohms law calculator to get the exact values.
We use this site to do calculations: https://ohmslawcalculator.com/ohms-law-calculator
If the element is in good condition, there might be an issue with either the NTC sensor or the relay on the circuit board. Usually, when a washing machine stops heating, it goes open circuit on the element.
I hope these videos help. You’ll need to take the machine apart. The element is at the bottom of the drum and can be accessed from either the front or rear of the machine.
I’ve also included the workshop manual and wiring diagrams below. They show how the machine is put together, where exactly the element is, and how to test it. The manuals are well-written, so it’s worth spending time going through them to diagnose the problem. There is also a test procedure for diagnosing issues which will help you as well.
I’ve put links above and below to all the parts for your machine. I hope this helps!
