The element heating assembly is found at the bottom of the dishwasher tub, and helps to warm the water in the wash cycle, and dry the dishes afterward. If the water does not heat up during the wash cycle, or the dishes are not being dried properly, you may need to replace the element heating assembly in your dishwasher. This element heating assembly is horseshoe-shaped and is sold individually. To replace your heating assembly, first make sure it has cooled down, then simply slide the connecting tabs out. Replace with a new heating element and your problem should be solved.

Dishwasher not heating/drying
Replaced heating element. This was the path of least resistance but the problem persisted. I tried resetting the dishwasher but still nothing. My last resort is the circuit board. I checked the relays on the old board and they are fine so it must be something else on the circuit board. The dishwasher is not really that old (4 years)

The dishes were not dry after the wash cycle
Open the washer, remove the bottom dish rack, then twist off the bottom water sprayer. Use a screwdriver to remove the mounting/ stabilizing screws so you can slide out the dishwasher.

Diswasher not drying dishes
Didn't actually do the compete repair but got close. Pulled out dishwasher, disconnected and checked continuity on the existing heating element (about 16 ohms) the new element was also about 16 ohms. This indicates they both were working fine and no need for replacement. Next step would have been to swap the elements would have been

It wasn't the high temp cut off thermostat either incidentally and no error codes in maintenance mode. Check continuity of your existing element before ordering to save aggravation.

Water doesn't heat up during the wash cycle and the dishes do not dry. Everything i've looked at states that the heating element is not working. I also noticed that flood switch asm part states that it controls hot and cold water. Could it be both parts that cause the water to be cold? Thank you
For model number GDT580SSF0SS
Hi Eric,
Thank you for your inquiry. You are correct. It could be either the heating element or the flood switch assembly. You will need to check the parts with a multimeter to see which one is causing the issue. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

I'm still not getting hot water (the water is probably 130 degrees) nor are the dishes drying. I checked the heating element with multi-meter and it shows 17ohm for continuity. I didn't know how to check the flood switch assembly with a multi-meter so i'm not sure about it. I did remove the flood switch and clean it (it had a lot of "gunk" built up in it that only removed when i placed it under boiling hot water). How would i check the flood switch with a multi-meter to know if i need to replace it? Also, would there be any other parts i should check to fix the no hot water and not drying problem? Thank you very much!
For model number GDT580SSF0SS
Hi Eric,
Thank you for your question. We have a page that details how you can test that switch: https://www.partselect.com/Dishwasher+test-float-switch+repair.htm . However this switch usually has to deal with your appliance being able to fill with water and drain the water. You have checked your heating element, the only other part that it may be is the electronic control board. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

The original problem was no water, tested the inlet valve and it was fine, replaced the float switch and dishwasher is filling with water. Now my problem is that there is no heating, meaning its not drying the dishes, tested the heating element and it test fine 16ohms. I can not seem to see any temperature sensor, according to the web the float switch has two functions, float switch and thermistor; having replace it twice with out a change in heating i'm inclining towards the control board. Its there any other part on this dishwasher that would cause not to heat (dry)?
For model number GDF520PSF4SS
Hello Julio, thank you for your question. If the heating element and float switch have been replaced, and the valve is allowing hot water into the unit the control board is the most likely issue that is causing the heating element to not function properly. I hope this helps!
