Signs Your Dishwasher Heating Element Needs Replacement

Don’t wait — a failed element often trips the thermal fuse at the same time. Replacing just the element without checking the fuse means a callback in a week.

If you see two or more of these signs, it’s time to replace the heating element.
Watch for these signals. A heating element failure usually shows up as wet dishes or cycles that run but don't feel hot.
- Dishes wet or cool to the touch after the drying cycle
- Water pooling in the tub after the cycle ends
- Cycle runs but water doesn’t feel warm during wash
- Error code related to heating or temperature sensor
