Is breakdown of electronic programme panel due to limescale?

We are in a hard water area but have a topped-up water softener. Our washing machine hadn't had a problem in 9 years, then just died. Could limescale be the problem or does this just 'happen'? Thank you

    The heater element may fail as a result of limescale and possibly blow a fuse but the control panel itself is not effected by limescale.
