So after noticing some horrid food waste build up in my 9 year old dishwasher, I determined it wasn't heating the water during the wash cycle. I came on here to check how to replace the heating element and was surprised when the flood switch was instead strongly recommended as the first repair step.

I ordered the part, and prepped the dishwasher for the repair (Pro-tip: Clothes pin attached to the bottom of the flood switch wiring harness ensures it doesn't slip down below the opening during the part swap!). The part swap and reassembly only took 5-10 mins or so after prep and dishwasher is now heating water and running great again. Many thanks to partselect.com for the detailed installation guides/videos and the parts recommendations!

Removed the door to get to the UI control panel. Followed the instructions to set the jumpers to my particular model and put it back together. Fixed the issue and worked perfectly.

Followed a u-tube video to remove dish wash door assembly to get to the control board . Not too hard if you are mechanically inclined.

Turned off pier at breaker. Removed dishwasher from under counter after disconnecting water line from dishwasher and drain tube from under sink. You might get a little residual water but not much. Removed old flood switch took about 2 minutes. Replaced with new flood switch. Then tilted dishwasher back to get to plastic nuts that hold down heating element. Set unit back down and removed old heating element then replace it with new one. Replace plastic nuts that hold element. Exact parts makes job easy. Them put water hose back on an put washer back in place hooked drain hose back up. Turned water and power back on. Tested unit worked perfectly. Hardest part of job was putting the dishwasher back into counter and getting the Instalation back on top.
Parts replacement time was about 10 minutes.
Disconnecting and reconnecting and replacing dishwasher 40 minutes. But I wouldn’t pay anyone to do this because it’s really not difficult.

Simply pick the basket up to slide wheels onto axles and push in until they lock in place.

the design of this part is easy to break when closing the top rack.

there is a hub that clicks in place and a spinner within this that makes the water spray evenly on the top of the tub of the dishwasher

the part broke when closing the rack [a dish too tall hit it]

it took less than 5 minutes to replace as the part just clicks into two edge spots i did this without removing the rack or even looking into the tub all by feel

My son did the repair, I ordered both latch and striker, only needed the latch...only took him a few minutes to remove the old and install the new and works just fine

Simply twist on the new part/filter.

Unscrew the upper and side holding screws. Move dishwasher part way out. I didn't need to disconnect the water or electric. Make sure the electricity is off. Remember your working around water. Take off the bottom plat removing two screws, Remove broken cable pulley and replace new. Buy two since your their you might want to replace both. Have fun! It's duck soup.

Took bottom plate off pulled down controls module plate

Make sure power to dishwasher is off. Unscrew from counter. Pull dishwasher out enough to expose pulleys that hold the door in place. Remove lower panel and insulation. Unplug door jack from main panel underneath. Loosen pulleys on each side and remove door. Take a 1/4 in socket and remove the bolt on the upper side of the hook on each side, then remove the screws on the outer side panel on each side. Now slide the inner door panel up (push the top and pull the bottom), which will release the hooks on each side. Turn over the inner panel and remove the four screws that hold the interface control panel in place. Unplug the two jacks and remove the panel. Now take a small flat-head screwdriver to remove the clear cover. Remove the control panel. Make sure you set the junction as prescribed with the instructions that come with the new control panel. MIND YOU- YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE JUNCTIONS (TAKE EACH ONE OUT) AND RESET THEM ON THE PRONGS IN THE ORDER AS PRESCRIBED. Replace the control panel, replace the clear cover, insert it back in place, plug in jacks and replace screws. Turn inner panel over and line up side where the hooks lock. replace all screws and bolts. Replace door on dishwasher, plug in jack to main panel, attach pulleys to door. Replace insulation and front panel to bottom of dishwasher. Push dishwasher back in place. Replace screws that hold dishwasher to counter. Turn main power back on and VOILA!!
