Manufacturer Part Number: W10518394

The Dishwasher Heating Element is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is a vital heating component that raises water temperatures sufficiently for sanitizing dishes during hot rinse cycles. Proper heat is essential to drying fully.

Causes of a bad heating element can include scaling or mineral deposition over time that insulates it from conducting heat. Physical damage like burnouts or breaks in coils/wires are also possible.

Symptoms of a faulty element are:

  • Dishes failing to get fully dry at the end of cycles
  • Low wash water temperatures
  • Buzzing, clicking or strange noises from under the dishwasher

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and other Whirlpool-manufactured dishwashers.

Answer

Steffan, the control board can be tested during a heating portion of the cycle at connection P4 pin 3 to connection P4 pin 4 for 120VAC. way to check is to disconnect power from the dishwasher and remove one of the connectors from the control. Once a connector is removed, test the same wires for resistance and it should measure between 8 to 30 ohms. If the resistance is good, then the main control W10804120 would be the culprit. If the resistance reads 0L, then there would likely be a wiring issue that would need to be traced and repaired or the wire harness W10537905 would need to be replaced.
