Kenmore / Sears Dishwasher Heating Element

The Dishwasher Heating Element is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is a vital heating component that raises water temperatures sufficiently for sanitizing dishes during hot rinse cycles. Proper heat is essential to drying fully.

Causes of a bad heating element can include scaling or mineral deposition over time that insulates it from conducting heat. Physical damage like burnouts or breaks in coils/wires are also possible.

Symptoms of a faulty element are:

• Dishes failing to get fully dry at the end of cycles
• Low wash water temperatures
• Buzzing, clicking or strange noises from under the dishwasher

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and other Whirlpool-manufactured dishwashers. 

The Heating Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This element is for heating the water to the required temperature and for the drying cycle, allowing your dishes come out clean and dry. It's positioned at the bottom of the dishwasher tub, where it heats the water and aids in the drying process by evaporating moisture from the dishes.

Causes of a bad heating element include mineral buildup from hard water, which can insulate the element and reduce its efficiency, or electrical issues such as a burnt-out coil.

Symptoms of a bad heating element:

• Dishes not being cleaned properly due to the water not reaching the optimal temperature.
• The dishwasher not drying dishes effectively
• The dishwasher taking longer to complete cycles

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Heating Element is an OEM part for Frigidaire dishwashers. It heats water to the right temperature for washing dishes and aids in drying by promoting evaporation. Situated at the dishwasher's bottom, this element is vital for excellent cleaning and dry dishes.

Over time, the Heating Element may fail due to reasons like mineral buildup from hard water, corrosion, or electrical problems. A faulty heating element can cause issues, impacting the dishwasher's cleaning and drying performance.

Symptoms of a bad Heating Element include:

• Dishes not being cleaned properly due to the water not reaching the required temperature.
• The dishwasher not drying dishes at the end of the cycle.
• Visible signs of damage to the element
• The dishwasher taking longer than usual to complete a cycle.

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

The Dishwasher Heating Element is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It safely generates heat to sanitize dishes and raise water temperatures during hot drying cycles. A functioning heating element ensures thorough cleaning and reduces the risk of damage from moisture left behind.

Causes of a bad heating element usually relate to standard wear and deterioration of wiring insulation or coil materials after extended usage cycles. Surface scale can obstruct heat transfer if not periodically removed.

Symptoms of a bad heating element include:

• Dishes not getting fully dry
• Moisture remaining in low areas after cycles
• Inability to select high-temperature settings
• Cycles that don't reach the required sanitization temps

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore dishwashers.

The Heating Element is an OEM part for Frigidaire dishwashers. This element is responsible for heating the water during the wash cycle and ensuring the dishes are properly cleaned and sanitized. Additionally, it helps to dry the dishes by heating the air inside the dishwasher during the drying cycle.

Causes of a bad heating element can include regular wear and tear, mineral buildup from hard water, electrical failures, or damage from improper loading of dishes. A faulty heating element can lead to inadequate water temperature and poor drying performance.

Symptoms of a bad heating element include:

• Dishes not drying properly
• Water not heating up during the wash cycle
• The dishwasher not completing cycles
• Error codes related to heating issues

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Heater Assembly is an OEM replacement part for LG built-in dishwashers. It houses several heating elements that work to raise the temperature of the water during the hot washing and drying cycles. Proper heat is essential for removing stubborn soils and ensuring dishes are fully sanitized. 

Causes of a bad heater assembly can include broken, cracked, or burned-out heating elements due to age. Corroded connectors may impair power delivery over time. Mineral buildup inside the assembly reduces heat transfer efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad heater assembly include:

• Incomplete cleaning even on normal cycles  
• Dishes left wet or with water spots after drying
• Run cycles taking longer than expected to complete
• Reduced temperature tolerances triggering heating faults

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears Kenmore models. 

The Heater Assembly is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. This part heats the water during the wash cycles, ensuring that dishes are cleaned effectively and sanitized.

Causes of a bad heater assembly can include electrical issues such as short circuits, mineral buildup from hard water, or wear and tear from regular use.

Symptoms of a bad heater assembly include:

• The dishwasher not heating water properly
• Dishes coming out dirty or not fully sanitized
• The dishwasher taking longer than usual to complete cycles
• Error codes related to heating issues

This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore models.

The Heating Element Assembly is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. This part heats the air during the drying cycle, ensuring that dishes come out dry and free of water spots.

Causes of a bad heating element can include mineral buildup from hard water, electrical issues such as a short circuit or faulty wiring, or general wear and tear over time that leads to reduced efficiency or failure.

Symptoms of a bad heating element include:

• Dishes remaining wet after the drying cycle
• The dishwasher not heating up during the drying phase
• The drying cycle taking longer than usual or not completing
• Error codes related to drying issues displayed on the control panel

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This base heater assembly restores the oven's lower heating function in select convection microwaves. It delivers bottom radiant heat for baking and crisping so the unit can preheat properly and brown foods evenly.

• Supplies bottom heat during convection, bake, or crisp cycles
• Works with the control and temperature sensor to reach and maintain set temperature
• Common symptoms of a failed heater may include no heat in convection mode, very long preheat, or poor browning/crisping
• Visible damage to the element or tripping a circuit breaker may also indicate a shorted heater

• Disconnect power before servicing. Microwaves contain high-voltage components that can retain a charge even when unplugged
• Allow the unit to cool completely; access typically requires removing the outer cover or lowering an over-the-range unit
• Note wire locations and routing before removal; transfer any brackets, shields, or screws from the original assembly
• Route wires exactly as original and avoid pinching; confirm clearances before reassembly and test a convection preheat

This heater assembly restores heat production in electric dryers so clothes dry efficiently. It replaces a failed heating element and helps return the appliance to normal drying performance. What it does:

• Heats air passing through the dryer drum so laundry dries during operation
• Replaces a burned-out or open heating element that causes no heat or weak heat
• Addresses long dry times and extended cycles when the element isn't functioning
• Works with the dryer's blower and thermostatic controls to maintain proper air temperature

• Disconnect power at the breaker before starting any repair; this part carries live voltage during operation
• Handle the heating element carefully to avoid bending or damaging the coil
• Inspect fuses, thermostats, wiring, and connectors while replacing the heater to ensure full repair
• Follow the appliance manufacturer's service instructions for disassembly and reassembly
