The W4840 carries the allergen programs that made this series popular with households managing asthma and dust-mite sensitivity, and those cycles depend on sustained high temperature and extra rinses. A heating problem therefore shows up on exactly the programs the machine was bought for. The other thing worth saying about this model is that the drain filter housing is plastic: hand-tight is enough, and over-tightening it is a common way to crack it.
