Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Poor drying when Heated Dry is selected
• Wash water is not hot enough
• Cleaning performance may decline when the dishwasher cannot heat wash water

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm that the Heated Dry or another heat-adding option is selected; some cycles use natural convection drying without energizing the heater.
• Check that incoming water is approximately 120–140°F, since insufficient inlet-water temperature can mimic a heating-element problem.
• With the dishwasher powered off and the element completely cool, visually inspect the exposed element for cracking, scorching, melted plastic, food residue, or other visible damage.
• Before any maintenance, unplug the dishwasher or switch off its circuit breaker/fuse. A qualified technician can test the heater circuit with power disconnected; do not assume the element is defective based only on wet dishes or low cleaning performance.
