Dry cycle was not working and dishes weren't getting dry.
I ordered my new heating element prior to checking the continuity of the old one. I checked the continuity of the old one once it was removed and it was ok, not great but still acceptable so I knew the new element wasn't going to fix the issue, but installed it anyways. My issue was actually the float switch, so if you want to be sure of your issue, remove the current heating element from your dishwasher and check the continuity before ordering if you want to save some money.

This ultra-fine filter kit is compatible with various models of dishwasher and is a genuine part straight from the manufacturer. It is responsible for catching small food particles, debris, and other items that are washed off dishes during the cleaning process. The filter stops these particles from clogging the drain hose and other internal components thereby preventing damage to the dishwasher, maintaining a clear flow of water, and reducing unpleasant odors. The filter also prevents the debris from recirculating onto the clean dishes. You can find the dishwasher filter at the bottom of the dishwasher tub. It is recommended to clean the filter thoroughly every 3 to 6 months.
