Roper Dishwasher Heating Element

The Dishwasher Heating Element is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is a vital heating component that raises water temperatures sufficiently for sanitizing dishes during hot rinse cycles. Proper heat is essential to drying fully.

Causes of a bad heating element can include scaling or mineral deposition over time that insulates it from conducting heat. Physical damage like burnouts or breaks in coils/wires are also possible.

Symptoms of a faulty element are:

• Dishes failing to get fully dry at the end of cycles
• Low wash water temperatures
• Buzzing, clicking or strange noises from under the dishwasher

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and other Whirlpool-manufactured dishwashers. 

This base heater assembly restores the oven's lower heating function in select convection microwaves. It delivers bottom radiant heat for baking and crisping so the unit can preheat properly and brown foods evenly.

• Supplies bottom heat during convection, bake, or crisp cycles
• Works with the control and temperature sensor to reach and maintain set temperature
• Common symptoms of a failed heater may include no heat in convection mode, very long preheat, or poor browning/crisping
• Visible damage to the element or tripping a circuit breaker may also indicate a shorted heater

• Disconnect power before servicing. Microwaves contain high-voltage components that can retain a charge even when unplugged
• Allow the unit to cool completely; access typically requires removing the outer cover or lowering an over-the-range unit
• Note wire locations and routing before removal; transfer any brackets, shields, or screws from the original assembly
• Route wires exactly as original and avoid pinching; confirm clearances before reassembly and test a convection preheat
