i have recently replaced the element in my dishwasher thinking it will fix the problem of not heating the water or drying... but alas, it has had no effect.
i would appreciate some ideas for what i should consider replacing next... other than the dishwasher itself. By the way, it is a Matsui MS2W/A. Many thanks.

Looks like this is a UK unit and I cannot find any info on it.

On most US units there is an overheat (hi-limit) thermostat wired in series with the heating element. If your unit has one perhaps it is shot (open).

Check under the unit and on the back of the kick plate for a wiring diagram without it the unit will be difficult to troubleshoot.

I bought this two years ago from Currys and now the program does not complete during a wash cycle. ?program problem? replaced this £50, still not working. Now realise its not heating the water. ?element problem? do I keep replacing parts im not sure. But was surprised when looking for help on my computer the first comment I found was also a MATSUI DISHWASHER!!!! help??
