Heating Element 00480317

Hi Rick, Thank you for your question. This installation is an intermediate level installation. You will have to shut the water and the power off to your appliance. You will have to remove the kickplate/access panel at the bottom of your appliance. Then the outer door panel. After that you will have to remove the bracket that would be just behind the kickplate. Once you have all that removed, you will have to remove your lower rack, and your filter and manifold from inside of the dishwasher. Once you have those parts uninstalled, remove the mounting brackets of your appliance and remove the appliance from underneath the counter. You will then gently place it on it's back. This will give you access to the bottom of the appliance. Remove the hose going to the water inlet valve. After that remove your drain pump and sump assembly from underneath your dishwasher. This is where your heater assembly is located. Unplug it from the wiring harness and then reinstall the new part by following these steps backwards. If you are uncomfortable with this installation, I would suggest contacting a certified technician to help you out. Good luck with your repair.

Hello Dale, thank you for getting in touch. Make sure the water supply to the dishwasher is at the recommended temperature (120°F). If the water is too cold, the cycle time may be extended. Make sure the dishwasher is level, an uneven dishwasher can cause poor drainage and longer cycle times. Clean the filter, a clogged filter can reduce water flow and increase cycle times. If this does not help, you will need to replace the control board, part number PS8733807, to fix the issue. We hope this helps.
