Fault is:- The 'Prewash cycles OK (no heat needed). BUT on 'Quick', 'Eco' & 'Auto' etc water stays cold and these wash cycles just keep repeating from the beginning. Only way to stop them is to select 'Prewash'. I removed one of the heater connections and measured the heater element resistance, 21.7 ohms. It seems low, and on 230v would equate to about 2 kW ? Any ideas?

I have the same problem. First fault was caused by poor workmanship on the assembly of the PCB. There is a relay (the largest component on the board) which was badly soldered and caused some arcing resulting in solder splattered around the plastic casing and a lost electrical connection. This relay switches the mains voltage on to the heater i.e. 240V around 8.5A for a 2kW heater. (26 ohms suggests a 2215W heater for the case mentioned). Re-soldering this connection solved the problem for about a year. Now the dishwasher is showing the same problem. I have tested the relay and it is operational, but does not seem to be turning on during a wash cycle. A new board costs around £100. Zanussi will not even provide the technical details to allow a home fix. I will post my finding if I get to the bottom of this problem. It may be to do with electrical temperature sensor. My hunch is the controlling PCB is cheaply made and will not last a reasonable lifetime. A dishwasher is in itself a very simple piece of equipment with only a few valves, a pump and a heater so should not give problems in its first five years of life subject to normal usage. I will not consider purchasing any Zanussi appliances in the future.

You should check for 115/220v on heater tags, In case you don't have it, your problem is a malfunction thermostat that should be replaced. Good luck!

the heater relay may have gone on the pcb or you may have a stat/wiring fault in the heater circuit.

Dear Customer,
Do all this for solving your problem,
1
check out your overheating prevension system like some fuse may be there for it,IT MUST BE ACTIVE FUSE OR LIVE,
2
than check your resistance value accross you fuse it not must be grater than DEFINED IN YOUR model MANUAL NAMED MAINTANANCE, CAUSE DIFFERENT MODELS HAVE DIFFERENT FUSE RESISTOR VALUE & HERE YOU HAVENT DEFINE YOUR MODEL,
3
than check you are using safe & cleansing material for dish washing cause ,SOME SOAP ARE TRYING TO WET YOUR DISHWASHING SYSTEM.
You can do this as a last try of your dishwasher make active,
let your dishes sit for a few hours with the door open this will helps you,
run the hot water in your sink prior to starting the dish washer this
will ensure that the water coming into the dishwasher is hot to begin
with.
I have also discovered that the dishes dry better if you use a rinse aid as Ronsan recommended. But I'm WAY too cheap for that!!
Like Carol, I open the door and let the dishes air dry.
If your machine have warrrenty than try to contact your sevice center & call up you service manager,
Till you are complete this article you got your solution 100%

In my case it was the pressure sensor on the side of the short hose between the main (circulatory) pump and the bottom jet arm (which spins inside the machine)
Remove it and test resistance on terminals while blowing into the tube.
There is another pressure sensor on a hose attached to the waste assembly but appeared to be working correctly.
For this error code you need to check both the water heater or
element and thermistor, basically the washing machine is reporting a
fault on the heating circuit with this fault code but it is not capable
of identifying exactly where the fault actually lies.
On non-display panel models this fault code is denoted by the lights for 95, 60, 40 and cold being lit or flashing.
