Faulty element? Other 'hot' cycles do not work?! Hotpoint Aquarius 1200Wd62?

Hello,

The water in my washing machine doesn't seem to be heating up at a 40 deg wash however it still washes etc but, when i put the washing machine on a 'hotter' wash, it just sits there and does nothing apart from a small buzzing sound. Any ideas? Obviously, i'd just go and buy a new one but it's not really the time of year to be doing that.

Thanks for any advice offered...

sounds as though the solenoid on the hot fill valve is jammed closed
