I have a Hotpoint FDF784 showing error code A-8. Water barely gets warm. Heater element checks out ok on multimeter. I suspect thermostat/thermistor, but where is it located? Is it integral to the connection block of the heater unit?

- Thanks Chris (Couldnt see a way to reply to you direct) On further testing, ive found that the bimetal thermostat fitted to the heater module is not opening circuit when hot. I have had this connected to a continuity meter and heated the unit with a heat gun. I can hear the thermostat trip when hot, and likewise hear it click again when it cools, but the meter shows it remains a short circuit either way. I can physically force it open with a probe. With this in mind, would you suspect the heater unit in its entirety? Cheers

A8 indicates the heat has not risen enough in the allowed time. Unfortunately if the heater is OK the problem is likely to be the control module Stock Number ES1329672
