11 Year old Bosch washer, WAE24465gb/01replaced heating element several times over the years not using genuine part.
Machine appears to be washing everything at 90degrees, I washed some towels yesterday and they were too hot to get out of the machine at the end of the cycle.
I put the machine on a cold wash earlier and I could feel the heat in the water within a few minutes, I left the cycle for 10 minutes, switched the machine off and measured the temperature of the water in the drum once the door released and it was 79degrees Celsius.
Seems like the element is constantly switched to on as even after the rinse cycle/spin the clothes are boiling hot.
Could this be the thermostat?
