The Heating Element is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. It is responsible for heating the water during the wash cycles and for drying the dishes after the rinse cycle. Proper functioning of the heating element ensures optimal cleaning and drying performance.

Causes of a bad heating element can include mineral buildup from hard water, electrical faults, or general wear and tear over time. Damage to the heating coil or connections can also impair its functionality.

Symptoms of a bad heating element include:

  • Dishes not drying properly
  • Dishwasher cycles taking longer than usual
  • Water not heating during the wash cycle
  • Error codes related to heating issues

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

Questions & Answers

For Ge Heating Element (Part Number: OEM21557775)

1 Answer

Bobby, There has not been a change to the nut for the heater and the ones that you currently have should work.

Craig, the element WD05X30818 would be the most recent revision of the heating element. It should have covers over the grommet seals.

Justin for Model Number GDF520PSF4SS

I have a G.E. Dishwasher model number GDF520PSF4SS. The dishwasher is not drying the dishes.I checked out the heating element with a meter and it seems to be good. pulled wires off and checked it with a meter and nothing is open on it showing a break in element or bad element. Could you help me where to go next, is it the main board I need to check or is it the display board I would need to check? I know I need to check for voltage feeding the heating element when it calls for drying to see if I have it but not sure which one of the boards would be putting out the voltage. Any help with this problem would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Justin, with the power supply off, the machine control WD21X22276 would need to be accessed for testing. While the wires are connected to the heater, the wire connection J702 would need to be tested from the violet wire to the red and white wire for 23.4 Ohms. If the resistance shows open, but was showing as good at the heater, the TCO on the AC wire harness and pump kit WD49X23778 has failed. If the reading is good when testing at these two wires, the machine control would be the cause of failure.

David for Model Number GDT655SMJ0ES

dishwasher "goes out" intermittantly. have replaced the machine control board twice. has not solved the problem. have gone through all the diagnostic tests (error mode and service mode) in the manual. no failures. then randomly the dishwasher will not run; no LED lights, nothing. it has 120V power; the service LED is blinking 7x per 3 secs indicating CSM tripped. no evidence of any leaks. flipping the breaker has "fixed it" for now. this last time it sat unused for 3 weeks. for most of that i noted the service LED was blinking 1x per 3 secs which is ok. then at approx 3 weeks tried to start a load. nothing! flipped the breaker and got it working again. something (a gremlin?) is tripping the CSM. when it runs it runs a normal cycle fine. only one thing: the "CLEAN" LED does not light up anymore but the dishes are clean. any suggestions??

1 Answer

David, Based on the information provided the "CSM" tripping is likely to be external to the board per the manufacturer. The potential cause of a "CSM" trip is water leaking onto a live component, a component malfunction, or a fault in the wiring harness. With all you have done I would check again for a leak anywhere and check for broken wires in the harness.

Hello Jimmy, the manufacturer does not provide that part's specs, suggest you contact the manufacturer's Customer Service for that information.

Patrick, the heating element circuit can be tested at the main control. With the power disconnected from the unit, at connection J703 pin 1 to pin 2 there should be a reading of 23.4 ohms. If there is no resistance reading, then you will want to test the thermal cut off for continuity. If the T.C.O. tests good for continuity, then you will want to test the resistance of the element directly at the element. If there is no resistance at the element, then the element is bad. If there is resistance then there is a break in the wiring. If all of this test good, then the most likely issue is that the main control is not operating properly.
