Scott November 12, 2021 for Model Number PDW9280J00SS This is the second time replacing the mainboard. The heat relays are burned up again. Would a defective heating element cause this or would it just cause no heat? I tested for resistance on the low scale and is not a dead short.
1 Answer Hello Scott, The most likely cause would be excessive current flow. A poor electrical connection or insufficient size of wiring to the unit would be suspect. Remove the kickpanel and open the "Power Connection Box" and make sure the wire nuts are tight and there are no burned or discolored wires. • This appliance must be supplied with 120V, 60Hz, and connected to an individual properly grounded branch circuit protected by a 15 or 20-ampere circuit breaker or time-delay fuse. • Wiring must be 2 wire with ground and rated for 176°F.

Ken B December 08, 2014 for Model Number GSD4060D00SS Dishwasher works good but once its go into the drying cycle it trips the circuit breaker
1 Answer Ken, You will want to check the wiring between the control and the heater to make sure that there is no damage to the harness. If this checks ok then you will want to check for leaks around the heater seals where it goes through the tub and check the heater for being faulty. Read More...

1 Answer Hello Huey. First disconnect the power going to the unit. Then pull the unit out about 6 to 8 inches to access the wires and nuts for the heater assembly. Remove the wires and nuts, and lift the old heater out of the dishwasher. Reinstall in reverse order. Hope this helps. Read More...
Sucmodid August 09, 2014 for Model Number GSD4800G00WW Dishwasher ran continuously in cleaning cycle without stopping to drain or rinse. Noticed the Heating element was not hot at all. Could this be the problem as to not changing cycles?
1 Answer Hello Sucmodid. You need to check the heater and the thermostat. Both should read closed for continuity. If they are good, then replace the board on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...

John E. March 08, 2012 for Model Number GSD3200JOOWW GE Nautilus Dishwasher, What should the OHM reading be for the heating element? The heater in my dishwasher gives me zero ohms.
