Washer stops heating water or aborts cycle with F07; clothes may come out cold on hot cycles.

Safety first: Unplug the washer and shut off water. Heating components can retain voltage—verify power is off with a meter if possible.

Check heating element and wiring:

• Access heater: Remove the rear panel. The heater is usually mounted in the lower rear of the outer tub with two terminals and a ground.
• Inspect visually: Look for burned connectors, melted insulation, or signs of arcing at the heater terminals.
• Test heater: Disconnect the heater wires and measure resistance across the terminals. Typical values are 10–30 ohms (refer to your tech sheet). If open (OL) or shorted to ground, replace the heater.
• Check thermal cutoff: Some Crosley models include a thermal fuse or cutoff in series with the heater. Test for continuity; replace if open.

If heater circuit is good: The heater relay on the main control board may not be energizing. This requires board-level diagnosis and usually replacement of the control board. Because this involves high voltage switching, consider professional service.
