Heated cleaning mode does not seem to warm the solution; water remains 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, Open thermal fuse, Faulty heater switch, Loose heater wiring

Safety first: Unplug and allow the unit to cool before inspection.

Confirm mode: Ensure the heated mode is actually selected and any heater indicator light is on.
Check power to heater (advanced): A technician can test for voltage at the heater terminals when in heated mode.
Inspect wiring: Open the base and check heater connections for looseness or burning.
Replace heater assembly: If the element or thermal fuse is open-circuit, replace the complete in-line heater assembly.
