Description

This heating element warms wash water and helps dry dishes by raising dishwasher tub temperature for improved cleaning and drying results. Replaces a failed or damaged tub heater to restore normal wash-cycle heating. What it does:

• Heats dishwasher wash and rinse water so detergents activate and soils break down
• Speeds or improves drying performance by raising internal temperature during final cycles
• Commonly replaced when dishwasher shows no heat, poor cleaning, or poor drying
• Works with dishwasher controls and sensors to cycle heat during selected programs

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and water supply before starting work to avoid shock or flooding
• Drain the dishwasher and remove the lower access panel to reach the element assembly
• Handle the element and wiring gently; replace any damaged seals or grommets to prevent leaks
• Test operation and check for leaks after reinstalling panels and restoring power
