Dishwasher Heating Element Overview:
This heating element is an essential component in GE dishwashers, playing a vital role in the drying cycle by generating the necessary heat to ensure dishes come out completely dry. The part is compatible with various GE brands such as Cafe, General Electric, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, Profile, Fisher & Paykel, and some Sears-Kenmore models.

Structure of the Heating Element:
The heating element assembly is generally made up of a resistive element enclosed in a durable casing to protect it from damage and corrosion, enhancing its longevity and performance.

Common Issues with Heating Elements:
Over time, the heating element may fail due to normal wear and tear, electrical issues, or short circuits. Exposure to water and subsequent corrosion can also impair the casing, leading to further complications.

Indications of a Malfunctioning Heating Element:
If you notice that dishes are not completely dry after a wash cycle, or there is excessive moisture or condensation within the dishwasher, these may be signs that the heating element is not functioning properly. In particular, plastics and other materials that retain moisture might not dry fully.

This OEM part ensures reliability and compatibility with your GE dishwasher, including specific models from Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore.
