Whirlpool Dishwasher Heating Element (W10703867)

The Whirlpool Dishwasher Heating Element is designed to heat the water inside your dishwasher to the optimal temperature for cleaning and drying dishes. This component ensures that your dishwasher operates efficiently by maintaining the necessary heat levels during the wash and rinse cycles. It also aids in the drying process by evaporating water from the dishes, leaving them spotless and ready for use.

Common causes of failure for the heating element include mineral buildup from hard water, electrical issues such as short circuits, or physical damage from improper handling or installation. Over time, these factors can lead to the element becoming less effective or completely non-functional.

If you suspect your dishwasher's heating element is failing, look for the following symptoms:

• Dishes are not drying properly after the cycle completes.
• Water does not reach the desired temperature during the wash cycle.
• Visible damage or corrosion on the heating element.
• Dishwasher displays error codes related to heating issues.
