The Whirlpool Dishwasher Heating Element is designed to heat the water inside your dishwasher during the wash and rinse cycles. This component ensures that the water reaches the optimal temperature for effective cleaning and sanitization of your dishes. It also aids in the drying process by heating the air inside the dishwasher, helping to evaporate water from the dishes and the interior surfaces.
Common causes of failure for the heating element include mineral buildup from hard water, electrical faults, or physical damage such as cracks or breaks in the element itself. Over time, these issues can prevent the element from functioning properly, leading to inadequate cleaning and drying performance.
If you suspect your dishwasher's heating element is malfunctioning, look for the following symptoms:
- Dishes remain wet after the drying cycle.
- Water does not heat up during the wash cycle.
- Dishwasher displays error codes related to heating issues.
- Visible damage or corrosion on the heating element.
