OEM washer heating element/heater that heats water for wash cycles.

Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Wash cycles may take longer than expected when the washer cannot heat water.
• Sanitize or other temperature-controlled cycles may not reach the required temperature.
• Cleaning performance may decrease when heated wash water is unavailable.
• The washer may display a temperature-related error or cycle indication, depending on model.

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm the selected cycle is intended to use heated water and allow the cycle sufficient time for heating.
• Verify the washer’s hot and cold inlet hoses are connected to the correct faucets and that household hot water is available.
• With the washer disconnected from electrical power, inspect the heater area and wiring for visible burning, damaged insulation, loose connections, or a visibly damaged element.
• If the model’s technical documentation permits it, a qualified person may test the disconnected heater for electrical continuity with a multimeter; lack of continuity indicates an open element, but continuity alone does not prove the heater is the cause.
