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.

Kenneth H Morgantown , PA February 03, 2015 Appliance: Frigidaire Frg(V0) FDP635RFR3 The metal flanges on the heater element had worn away so that the rubber washer would not fit tight and leaked 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.
