So easy and fast, my family wasn't even impressed!
The part was perfect. To install, I didn't even have to pull the dishwasher out. I was able to access everything underneath. Installed it, turned the power back on, and it was ready to run!

easy part to replace
All I needed to do was replace the rubber ring around the heating element. The heating element itself worked just fine. Thank you, Dave

Dishwasher wasn't cleaning properly
I just did the repair just like the video suggests to fix it. I disconnected the power cord, shut off and took apart the water inlet line, and drain line. Unscrewed the top of the washer from the cabinet and pulled out the dishwasher. Tilted the washer to better get to the bottom and took off the connecting wires (red and white.) Unscrewe
... Read mored the brass nuts holding the heating element and removed the element from the machine. Took out the bottom sprayer arm. Replaced the element, replaced the brass nuts and connected the wires back up. Put the sprayer arm back in. Pushed the machine back into place and re-secured the top to the cabinet. Hooked all water, drain, and power lines back up and all was good again.
The tub perforations at the heater leaked and water dripped onto the fastening nuts and the electrical connections. I ordered a new heater element and it did not have the necessary nuts to fasten it to the tub. I had to go back and order them separately. The original nuts are very unique and cannot be substituted for.The manufacturer shou

heater element burnt out (black spot)
Make sure power is off. Remove metal toe kick with fillips screw driver. Reach under dishwasher with 1/2" open end wrench and completly unscrew brass nuts from element ends.

Our dishwasher sat in a warehouse for a year after our move from CA to TX. When I finally installed it, there was some sort of white mineral deposit that had built up on the heater element. I didn't notice it back in CA. I tried to get as much as possible off but it kept building. So I purchased a new heater element. It's been in for a fe

They'll be one or two screws attaching the dishwasher on the underside of the counter. Pull the washer out carefully. Remove any dishes and the bottom rack. Tilt washer on it's side. Remove wire connections to heater element (They slide right off but make sure to remember which one goes where) Unscrew the nuts that are holding the element on. I used some pliers. It wasn't difficult. Remove old element and replace with new. Reverse order.

Heating coil went bad
I had to remove the dishwasher from under the counter. I then had to unscrew (from the bottom) the bolts that held the heater in place. After that I ran into a problem of disconnecting the wires that ran to the heater. I did not want to "force" the wires off and I was unsure how exactly to remove them. I figured out that they are real

Dishwasher was growing mold on inside lid door. Also the glasses were not looking clean. Appeared as if they were not getting rinsed well enough.
First I removed the two screws that hold the lower front cover of the dishwasher to get under the dishwasher. Then I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires. I then opened the dishwasher door and removed the old element and replaced it with the new

My dishwasher seems to be leaking around both of the heating element fittings that go into the bottom of the tub. If i order a new heating element, do i need to order anything else to try to fix this issue?
For model number GLDB653AS1
Hi Cavanah,
Thank you for your question. Replacing the heating element may help with this. I would first check the connections on the existing heating element, before replacing it. If you do purchase a new heating element, you may need to replace the heating element mounting nuts. The part number listed under your model number for the nut is PS1524878. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

How do i test to see if the heating element has gone bad?
For model number FBD751SCS0
Hi Michael,
Thank you for your question. You can test that part with a multi meter. It should read anywhere between 0 - 50 ohms of resistance when you test it. Good luck with your repair.

This is a fairly new dishwasher. A plastic utensil fell into the tub and melted against the element. I ran it again and the controls respond and the cycle seems to run correctly but when i open it mid-cycle i don't get the wave of hot air and moisture that i used to get and at the end dishes and the tub aren't are dry as usual.The element appears to be intact. i can neither see nor feel any break in it, the plastic seems to have fallen off but there is a white residue on the element (maybe undissolved detergent?). it doesn't make sense to me that the plastic should have damaged the element.
do i risk damaging the control panel if the element is damaged and i run the washer?
finally: i watched the video and was puzzled that the technician said it was easier if the machine was pulled out and why does the water need to be disconnected?
thanks for your help.
For model number wdt-750sahw
Hi Bob,
Thank you for your question. If the dishwasher is not drying the dishes properly, the heating element may need to be replaced even though it does not appear to be damaged. You may also need to check the thermostat as well to make sure it is working correctly. Both of these parts can be tested with a multimeter. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

I need 2 nuts for the under-cabinet heating element.

My dishwasher gets stuck at the end of the wash cycle. I have to manually push it ahead to move on to the rinse & dry cycles. What is casing this problem? Does a part need to be replaced. Thank you.
For model number Fd8510lcs0
Hello Nancy, thank you for a very interesting question. The issue is most likely with the dishwasher timer, part number PS815994. The timer controls most of the operations: water level, tub filling and emptying, length of cycles, and cycle setting sequences. A faulty timer could extend the length of the cycle. We hope this helps, good luck with this repair!
The heat dry setting does not shut off so it is always heat drying which I do not like. I was going to disconnect that setting on the control panel. I was concerned that there is one heating element and it would not heat water for washing. Then I read that heat element in this model does not heat water anyways. Can I disconnect heat dry option or what would be your solution
For model number FDB1050RES2
Hello Jacquie, Thank you for the question. Very sorry but we can not provide information on how to disconnect or bypass settings. We can only suggest replacing the control board PartSelect Number PS2352995 to fix the issue. Hope this helps!
