Do all washing machines have a heating function?
No — many budget and mid-range machines in Samastipur rely on tap water temperature only. This issue is specific to machines with a built-in heater.
Can hard water really damage the heating element?
Yes, mineral scale buildup is one of the most common causes of reduced heating efficiency over time, similar to what happens in water heaters/geysers.
Is this urgent to fix?
Not urgent from a safety standpoint, but it does affect wash quality for oily stains and certain fabric care needs until repaired.
Does regular descaling prevent this?
Yes, periodic descaling (similar to our drum cleaning guide) helps extend the heating element's effective life, especially in hard water areas.
