Occasionally when updating the wifi server it will fail silently. Reflashing again using M997 S1 usually fixes it, as you've found. Sorry about that.
Glad to hear the rest of the update seems to have gone well and you're DWC is now back in sync. I suspect that what may have happened was the opposite of what I originally expected. The DWC files were updated, but your firmware was not, so there was a cryptic message for the heater since DWC wasn't getting the response it expected from the firmware.
You can check that you have 3.3 firmware and DWC now by looking at the Settings > General and Settings > Machine Specific tabs in DWC.
