Debra for Model Number WDF310PAAB2PAAWO I noticed that dishes were still wetter than usual after a cycle. Upon inspection, I saw that there was an area of the heating element that looked like something had burnt onto it or destroyed it in some way. When I went to gently touch that area, the heating element literally broke apart right at that area. We ordered and replaced the heating element, and ran a normal cycle. All seemed to go OK, but I noticed that the dishwasher didn't seem to get as hot as it used to. When the cycle was complete and I opened the dishwasher, the temperature was definitely not as hot as I can remember it always being, and sure enough, the dishes are not that dry. Since the heating element was clearly broken, I am at a loss at what else it could be and where we go from here. Thank you!
Answer Hello Debra, You will need to check the hi-limit thermostat and verify voltage and neutral to the element. The only other thing in the circuit is the harness. I would suspect the control W10804120 since the excessive current flow produced by the element burning out will normally damage the relays on the board. Read More...
