How to Troubleshoot & Replace Frigidaire AP3965251 / 154106202 Heating Element Nut

I found the source of the leak by taking the kick-plate off and laying on the floor with a flashlight pointed below the washer as I started the wash cycle up. As soon as I saw the location of the leak I turned the washer off and drained it (by starting a cycle and shutting it off quickly before the fill cycle started again.) At first I thought the leak was caused by a bad washer on the heating element, but after inspection I could tell the washers looked good, but the heating element nut was split. A little research on AppliancePartsPros.com confirmed the diagnosis and I ordered the heating element nut. Once I received it, installation took less then 15 minutes and the leak was fixed. 

It was a simple, and easy repair especially after seeing the repair video. Two simple nuts fixed the problem. 

Replaced both heater element nuts 

Pilled out washer , replaced the nut.... 

First I took apart the door, thinking it was coming from the bottom of it. Cleaned all the gunk out only to find out the leak was coming from underneath the dishwasher. I took the front plates off and saw the leak was coming from corroded heating element nuts. No hardware store carries them. So I ordered them and got em 3 days. Wife wanted a new dishwasher, this was much cheaper. Fix is really simple and fast, took 15 minutes. 

I did need a plumber to identify the problem--two cracked fasteners that tightened the element against the bottom of the dishwasher. But once identified, I used Model number and ordered the two parts on website. I paid extra for fast delivery. The order was correct and sent as advertised. Two days after the problem was identified, the dishwasher was fixed. 

I had a friend install the parts for me. It took longer than 5 minutes - mostly because we were "shootin' the breeze" It looked easy enough but my friend does this work for a living. 

I ordered this nut, and replaced the broken one 

Replaced element with the one I ordered. received it quickly,fit perfectly,wife is happy. 

I ordered the part from your online store, received it 2 days later, installed it & now everything is good to go.
