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.
