mine is an AWB904
Photo to follow in next few days. It won't be much of a photo as there is so much heavy stuff in the way, but you'll see the fascia at least.
Twin heating elements - I also have a Philips skinny top loading tumble washer, slightly newer. It uses the DC permag motor. I love it, though my machine doesn't work any more - electronic controller gone.
It uses the heating element in series with the wash motor to control the motor speed during wash. (all switched by the electronic motor controller module.)
I wonder if the washer in the photo above uses the elements in the motor control circuit too? It could use one or two elements in series with the motor to give a variation in speeds. Or use one in series with the motor for speed control, and the other for water heating. Note the element above the motor has 800w stamped in it, so it would need two of those to do anything useful.
My old Asko has two elements, If I recall right they are 1200w and 1800w, the 1800w is used on 10 amp circuits and the extra 1200w element is used in 15 amp versions. (at 240 volts).
