Frigidaire 154106202 Dishwasher Heating Element Nut OEM Part

Heating element nut had cracked causing a leak. Rather than run right out and buy a new one, I found the cracked nut and replaced it for about 11.00. Thank you Appliance pros. Quick shipping.

Changed heating element and the nuts that went on the heating element.

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.

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.

Ordered a new one from you which arrived in less than 24 hours! Thank you very much. It was a simple fix; took only a few minutes. Now it works fine. Thanks so much for you fast service!
