How to Troubleshoot & Replace Frigidaire AP2109194 / 154289801 Heater Terminal Shield

Replaced the heater element, per the video. Also had to connect a new terminal to one of the heater element wires. Once the heater was again connected electrically, the washer completed the entire wash cycle without hesitation. (During the time that the heater element was non-functional, the control "dial" would stop near the bottom, about half way through the cycle, and had to be advanced "one click" manually). The Heater Terminal Shield goes over the Heating Element Nut better if you subject the plastic to very hot water first. The entire repair cost about 1/10th the prices we were seeing for a new portable dishwasher washer. 

Replaced heating element and soap dispenser. The videos on how to do the repair are awesome. Made the job much easier. 

I purchased the parts I needed from the AppliancePartsPros.com and they arrived in two shipments, 1 day apart from each other (as scheduled). A few days later I installed the parts and all is good now (NO LEAK). AppliancePartsPros.com made it easy and I will use them again. 

Timer would stick at 7 o’clock position and never advance. New timer over $300, but checked heater element and found it bad, thermostat also bad which caused failure. Repair took about an hour because it was much easier to remove washer from counter to do it. Had it turned out to be the timer it would be at the dump now as I could get a washer for what the timer costs. 

Was caused by water leak at heater. Replaced heater element, wire terminal end and protective sleeve. Entire repair took only a few minutes.
