Danielle November 08, 2011 for Model Number fdb1050res2 frigidaire dishwasher The heating element on my dishwasher is warped and starting to melt the dishwasher tub where the heater's corners meet the tub. I'm planning to replace the heating element because it's warped but what caused this in the first place?
1 Answer Hello Danielle. Over time as the elements 154665201 get hot, they can lose their structure and can bend and warp from the heat. Hope this helps. Read More...
Donald C. July 29, 2011 for Model Number fdb750rcc2 Do they send new nuts and washer with the heating element ?
1 Answer Donald, No the element is a separate component. You will need to re use the original mounting nuts and washers, or acquire a matching set from your local hardware or home improvement store. Thanks and Good Luck. Read More...
Greg June 23, 2011 for Model Number fdb1050reso My drying light comes on when its time for my dishwasher to dry, but the heating element does not come on. Is there anything that may cause the element not to come on other than the element itself? Thanks, Greg
1 Answer Hello Greg. You will need to test and see if the heater 154665201 and the thermostat 154290204 is good. They should read closed for continuity. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps.http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Adrian May 27, 2011 for Model Number fdbb944cs1 Heating element stopped working. I got in there and noticed one of the ground wire leads was blackened like it had gotten hit, probably by a cooking tray, and shorted out. Can these ground wires leads be replaced? I did not see a part number for them. Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Adrian! There does not seem to be any ground wires for the heating element. What color are the wires and where is the exact location of the wires you are speaking of? Thanks. Read More...
Anne April 10, 2011 for Model Number FDB4315LFC0 On our dishwasher, the heating element is coated with mineral scale. Is it safe to remove the element, put it in a large container, and soak it in a mix of vinegar and dish soap and water, to remove the scale? This is what I use on other items such as faucets and plastic parts that collect the same mineral buildup. Here in central Indiana, we have a lot of calcium and iron in the groundwater, so I suppose this is the kind of material that hardens on parts that contact the tapwater. Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Anne! You can try running a load without any dishes in the appliance using the same method. This way, you have a cleaner dishwasher as well. If that does not help, you may try taking the element out and soaking it. Make sure that the terminal ends are not covered in water. Hope this helps! Read More...
Wolfeman April 04, 2011 for Model Number 587.1519.3402 I have to replace the nuts that hold the heating element, but would like to change the rubber washers also. Can they be bought without the element?
1 Answer Hello Wolfeman. No, you can not purchase the rubber washers separately. The manufacture only offers them as an assembly. Thanks. Read More...
Tom February 25, 2011 How do I replace the heating element? Do I need more parts than just the element.
1 Answer You access the heating element from under the bottom of the dishwasher. Unplug the wires and remove the nuts holing it on. Reinstall in reverse order. The heater should be all you will need. Read More...
1 Answer You will need to use an ohm meter MA-DM1 to check the ohm reading between the two terminals. It should read closed. If opened, you will need to replace. Here is a link you can refer to just incase you need help with using a meter: http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html .
