HEATING ELEMENT WD05X35098

This dishwasher heating element is designed to efficiently heat water during the wash cycle and assist in drying dishes at the end. Constructed from durable metal and finished in black, it is positioned at the bottom of the dishwasher tub. Measuring approximately 17-1/4 inches by 16-5/8 inches by 3 inches, it ensures optimal cleaning performance by raising water temperature to effectively remove food residues. During the drying phase, it helps evaporate moisture from dish surfaces, reducing water spots and enhancing overall drying results. Installation involves accessing the bottom of the tub and securing the element in place, typically requiring basic tools and safety precautions such as disconnecting power before beginning.
