This heater assembly warms the wash water inside the tub so the control can reach and maintain the selected temperature. Replacing a failed element restores proper heating performance and helps return cycle times to normal. What it does:

• Heats the water in the washer's tub during applicable cycles
• Helps the control reach and hold target temperatures for better cleaning
• Failure symptoms can include cold wash water, extended cycle times, and reduced cleaning performance
• Visual damage or an open circuit on the element indicates replacement is needed

• 1 heater assembly

• Disconnect power and turn off water before servicing
• The heater mounts at the bottom of the outer tub; remove front or rear panels as required by your model to access it
• Note wire locations; loosen the center nut, press the stud to release the old seal, and carefully withdraw the element
• Seat the new gasket evenly, tighten the nut to compress the seal, then run a test cycle to check for leaks and proper heating
