Mine doesn't. I only discovered it yesterday when I went to wash some white cotton sofa covers at 95C and, just by chance, touched the glass door mid-wash and noticed it wasn't hot. I then stuck a power-meter plug thing on it and saw it was only consuming 7 watts between drum rotations and 350 when it was going round. I was expecting at least 1500W+.
So... a quick dig around the inferweb for disassembly tips and I took the front off tonight and, indeed, the heating element is open-circuit ('fucked' in the common tongue). £10 on eBay later and I have one winging its way to me.
But.... what's been intriguing me is... how long has it been like that ? We normally wash on a 40C programme, and hardly ever touch the machine once it's running - I mean - who does ? It's not like it gives you any indication of the fact that you've been washing your clothes in stone cold water for the past few years is it ? :-)
Does yours heat up ?
I quite like the idea that half the forum are now going to be checking their washing machines tomorrow :-)
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.

My washer heats up, and she does a cracking breakfast too.

That's kinda the point of my post... mine is supposed to heat the water itself too... it just gets a boost from the hot water supply on certain cycles. I normally leave the hot feed switched off as it's more economical to let the machine heat up the water itself.

just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
Like a toaster, only different. The results are soggy
