Electrolux No Heating / Underheating

Heated cleaning mode does not seem to warm the solution; carpets feel cold.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed heater element, Tripped thermal cutoff, Faulty heater switch, Loose heater wiring

Safety first: Unplug and allow the unit to cool.

Verify mode: Ensure the heater function is actually enabled (check switch or control setting).
Check power to heater (advanced): With a multimeter and following safety procedures, verify voltage at the heater when heater mode is on. No voltage suggests a switch or control issue.
Test heater continuity: Measure resistance across heater terminals. An open circuit means the heater must be replaced.
Inspect thermal cutoff: Replace any open thermal fuse with the correct rated part.
