Heating element failed

1)Turned power off to dishwasher 2) removed toekick cover 3) shut off water 4) disconnected water line to dishwasher 5) removed top screws holding DW in place 6) slid DW out of cavity to access the read bottom 7) removed terminal clips from bottom side of heating element under DW 8) remover special "nuts" that held the heat element in place under DW 9) removed old heat element from inside DW 10) installed rubber wagers on. New heat element 11) installed new heat element from inside DW through holes in back of DW 12) screwed "nuts" back onto the new heat element under DW .... Note .... The new element used different "nuts" than the original .... So I was glad I had ordered new "nuts" just in case and would suggest you do the same 13) attach the electrical connections back on the new heating element 14) slide the DW back under the counter and attach to counter top nosing 15) hooked the water back up and turned it on 16) turned the breaker back on

The heating element expired on our dishwasher.

I followed an internet video on how to change a dishwasher heating element. The installation involved completely removing the dishwasher from the cabinetry, needing sufficient space in which to turn the dishwasher on its side, and disconnecting the electric wire from the appliance junction box. The actual timing of the part replacement was about 15 minutes. The difficulty I had was familiarizing myself with where the hoses and lines connect and reconnect. Our kitchen is also small, so moving the machine around was tricky. If I were to replace the part again, I could do it much faster, now that I know how to do it. Also, the element seals were a bit different on the replacement part; however, they work just fine.

D3 error code - Heating element failure

Thanks to your excellent video, I just took my time, followed the instructions and I was done. Took longer to remove the dishwasher from the cabinet then to replace the element. Thanks for everything. Did it myself and saved a lot of money!

The heating element broke

I followed the online video and it was perfect. I pulled the dishwasher out found where the wires plugged into the heating element disconnected them unscrewed the plastic nuts, Took the broken heating element out of the dishwasher. When I put in the new heating element push them down through then screwed in new plastic nuts went back inside pushed down the heating element again to make sure it was in the right position and then I tightened up the plastic nuts on the bottom when that was done I reconnected the wires and pushed the dishwasher back in

Fixed my dish washer!

Dishwasher stopped drying dishes 2 months ago… decided to try and fix it myself. I’m a 29 year old woman with zero experience in dishwasher maintenance and let me tell you, YouTube is heaven sent! The part arrived quickly and it fit perfectly. I had it replaced in 10 minutes or less.. Now my dishwasher is finally working again, and I’m so relieved I didn’t have to dish out the extra cash to replace it. I will be returning to this site if I need any parts in the future.
