Whirlpool W10283681 Heater (Washer Tub) OEM Part

Number one was turn the power to the dishwasher off. I disconnected the hoses under the sink. The dishwasher had to be pulled out from the cabinet. The old heating element easily came out and the new one put in its place. The instructional video made the repair very easy.

Ordered the correct heating element from you . it ,was delivered in a timely fashion, just followed the instructions on the site and with my wife's help holding the door open,{ the dishwasher has to be laid on it's back to remove and replace heating element} everything went easy. Start to finish about 30 min, saved $ 150.00 Thanks

Changing baskets is no-brainer job, as they come complete with all plastics and rollers. Upper slides require removal of the stoppers, but this is easy task, just squeeze them and pull back. After replacing the basket, insert them back. Heating coil is a different story. After chasing Internet for the advise, I found instruction: Remove front bottom cover. Memorize the location of the end of the heating element Unplug the wires and undo the plastic nuts holding element from underneath of washer. Impossible! To replace heating coil you MUST (at least partially) slide the washer from under the counter. When you have access to the washer from the back, the task is easy as walk in the park. Remember to run washer without bottom cover, just to check for any leak.

I watched video about how to replace the part. It was simple and I saved money by doing it my self.

Cracked heater element, replaced.
