Dishwasher displays i61 and water remains cold throughout the cycle.

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

Burnt‑out flow‑through heater, Loose heater connector, Broken wiring in heater circuit, Faulty heater relay on PCB

Safety first: Isolate the appliance from mains power before testing the heater.

Access heater: Remove side or base panels to locate the heater integrated with the circulation pump.
Check connectors: Ensure heater terminals are firmly connected and free from burning.
Measure resistance: Use a multimeter to check heater resistance. An infinite reading indicates an open heater that must be replaced.
Replace assembly: On many Zanussi models the heater is not separate from the pump; replace the entire heater/pump assembly if faulty.
