Defective dishwasher heating element
Turned off water supply to the unit. Removed plastic cover at bottom front. I only had to disconnect the copper water line to slide the unit about 1/3 of the way out. I then was able to reach the wires, disconnect them and use a stubby box/open end wrench (5/8? don't remember for sure) to remove the plastic nuts. I then opened the door, removed the bottom basket and slipped the element right out. Installation of new part was reverse.

I noticed rust on the heating element and on the tub walls. I wiped down the heating element and tub walls and ran several cycles alternating between lemon juice and dishwasher cleaner. I am still seeing rust building up on the heating element. Should this be replaced?Also does this part come with new mounting nuts or do they need to be purchased separately. thank you!

The dishwasher was not cleaning or drying dishes, so we purchased the heating coil and thermostat and replaced. The dishes are now getting clean, but it is not drying them completely, there is water on especially the silverware(the tray is in the door).I'd appreciate any help you can give as we already spent $102 hoping these items would fix it as its out of warranty. not sure how much money we should spend on it, its only been used for 2 years.

Hello Roberta. Thanks for your question. I do know that rinse aid is very important to your appliance being able to dry your dishes properly. If you are using rinse aid then the problem might lie in your control board. The electronic control board is PartSelect Number: PS11737960- this is rarely the issue, but it could be worth cutting off power to the dishwasher for one minute and then restarting it to see if that fixes the issue before replacing the board. I hope this helps.

My dishwasher doesn't always dissolve the detergent pod and when that happens it doesn't do the heated dry either. Do you think it would be the heating element?
For model number 66513269K110
PartSelect logo
Hi Kim , Thank you for your question. That would be the first part that I would suggest checking. You should test this part with a multi meter to see if it is working correctly. You may also want to test your thermal fuse as well. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Can you tell me the dimensions of this heating element? I had ordered this part from another site; however, it was the wrong size for our Kenmore diswasher.
For model number 66513292K110

Hi Chris, Thank you for your question. Unfortunately the manufacturer does not give us exact specification on their parts. However this part is approximately: 15" x 13" front to plug in terminals. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

The dishes and silverware on bottom are not coming clean. Water is warm but not hot some dishes clean but damp. Is there any test to ensure it is the heating element?
For model number 665.13269k113

Hello Joanne and thanks for writing. You can test the heating element with an ohm meter it should have continuity. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime.

Hello, the element in my dishwasher is 0 in all scales and does not work. Thanks a lot. Michel

Hi Michel, Thank you for your question. If your multimeter is showing a reading of zero, then you will need to replace the heating element in your dishwasher. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

How to install the heating element for the dishwasher model wdt790saym2.I want instructions specifically for this model to pull the dishwasher from under the countertop and replacing the heating element before ordering the parts.
For model number WDT790SAYM2
PartSelect logo
Hello Sri, Thank you for your inquiry. To pull the dishwasher out from under the countertop. Shut off the electricity at the breaker. Tip: place a piece of tape over the breaker switch to ensure no one turns it on while you're working. Turn off the water under the sink. Take off the front cover at the bottom of the dishwasher to expose the wiring. Use a voltage meter to test the wires at the dishwasher to ensure the power is still off. Remove the electrical box from the unit. Unscrew the wire nuts and pull apart the wires. Start with the green wires, white and then black. Disconnect the drain line from the dishwasher and the water supply line from the dedicated dishwasher stop. Open the door to the dishwasher, then remove the screws secured to the underside of the countertop. Raise the legs using a wrench. Slowly pull out the dishwasher ensuring the wires are out of the way. Also, the drain line should come out with the dishwasher from under the sink. Tip: Place a drop cloth or piece of cardboard in front of the dishwasher to prevent scratches on the floor. Also, before turning electricity back on, make sure to tape or cap off the ends of the three exposed wires. Although we do not have a repair video for this exact model for the heating element, I have included a video link for a similar Whirlpool heating element. Hope this helps! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Co8dQ7rzTMQ&index=25&list=PLD984081941E1E8CD

Dishwasher does not dry. Testing heating element and thermostat for continuity, both test ok, although heating element doesn’t show complete continuity(0.08 ipo 0.00). Should i still suspect the heating element?
For model number KDTE104DSS0
PartSelect logo
Hello Joe. Thanks for your question. The issue could be the electronic control board is PS11731265 - this is rarely the issue, but it could be worth cutting off power to the dishwasher for one minute and then restarting it to see if that fixes the issue before replacing the board. The heating element should read between 8 and 30 ohms. If the element is testing good, I would suggest checking the thermostat, part number PS11750035. I hope this helps!
