John G Horizon City , TX March 29, 2020 Appliance: Frigidaire Dishwasher FDB520RHB2A The dishwasher wouldn't dry the dishes I replaced the heating element and the thermostat because I didn't know which one could be the problem and the dishwasher is 10 years old, so I figured I would just do them both. The parts arrived in two days after I ordered them. The videos were helpful, but when I got the washer pulled out, I found the the wiring to the coil was burned up. My wife told me that she had smelled something burning a while back. Thanks for letting me know. So I had to cut off the old connector and directly connect the wire to the prong. We are on lock down, but luckily I had electrical tape on hand. Anyway, after putting it all together, it works great again. My wife was ecstatic and was very appreciative, if you know what I mean.
