Kitchenaid Dishwasher Heating Element

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 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.
