Once or twice my Bosch front-loading washer did not complete a regular hot wash cycle correctly - didn't spin/drain at end, but indicated a normal cycle "Ended" light (no blinking/error). Then it tripped the house electrics part way in to a hot cycle.
I guessed the heating element might be faulty, and tested a a voltmeter across its live/neutral pins - it reads 26 Ohms, no continuity to earth. No obvious bare wires or anything wrong-looking inside machine.
The washer runs Spin and Rinse cycles ok, and runs a cold wash cycle, but does not finish the cold wash - it ends without completing the spin/drain, and lights indicate cycle has "Ended" normally (no blinking/error). You can then manually set a Spin cycle, which runs & drains ok. Any regular hot wash cycle trips the electrics.
Any idea what that might be?
