Product Description

This is a manufacturer-approved heating element and 2 washers. If the dishes in your dishwasher are not drying or the water in the dishwasher is not getting hot, it may be due to a failed heating element. The heating element is not intended to heat the water that enters the appliance but is designed to maintain the heat of the water that enters. This part is located on the bottom of the appliance. Be sure to disconnect the power to the appliance before you begin this repair. Start this repair by disconnecting the wires from the bottom of the element in the back, remove the plastic nuts holding it in place, remove the element, and repeat these steps in reverse order to install the new part. For this beginner repair, you will need a screwdriver, wrench set, and it should be completed in less than 30 minutes.

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 wa s 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!

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.
