Pam H San Angelo , TX May 28, 2014 The heating element on my 5 yo dishwasher wore out due to hard water My very handy husband replaced the part and now I have a working dishwasher again.

Jason S Saint Paul , TX December 02, 2014 Appliance: Frigidaire Dishwasher GLD2445RFC0 Leaking from heater coil When I identified a leak coming from the Heating Coil, I saw that the Heating Element Nut on both sides were corroded and could not hold the heating element tight any more. I ordered replacement parts and the fix was very easy. As I was running the test afterwards, I discovered that there was a leak coming from under the door. I realized then that the reason the heating element nut corroded was because of a leak in the door. I ordered a new door gasket and door seal (that goes at the bottom of the door) to fix the problem. There is still some splash that happens during the heavy cycle and the Splash Guard that is sold separately is not compatible with my model. I took the old door seal and mounted it as a shield under the door. This stopped the splash and does not interfere with the door.

David G Cypress , TX January 09, 2015 Heat element went out This was a easy fix. It was just two wires to pull off and two nuts. I took out the old element and pop in the new one. Tighten the two nuts and plugged in the wires and started a wash cycle. All in all the repair only took maybe 15-20 minutes. I saved a lot of money by doing this myself. And another plus was the shipping, the part only took two days to arrived after it shipped.
