The sanitize cycle on the W3037 asks more of the heater than any other program, holding the wash at a high temperature for an extended period. That makes it the first cycle to fail on a machine whose element is scaling or whose thermostat is drifting, while ordinary warm washes carry on looking fine. If this model completes everything except sanitize, the heating circuit is where to look rather than the control board.
