4.2 Heater Element - Replacement
Danger
The appliance must be unplugged from the wall outlet or the circuit
breaker must be shut off before during replacement of any Heater
circuit component(s). 240VAC is still present within this circuit, even
with the appliance switched to the Off position.
1. Refer to Figure 030-2.
2. Remove the Temperature Sensor (030 4.1)
3. Disconnect the Heater Element electrical connections.
4. Using suitable pliers, grasp the Heater Element Seal (where the
Temperature Sensor was). Pull the Heater element straight out
with the seal (1).
5. Remove the remaining hardware (two washers and drip
protection device).
Note
Should the Heater Element require replacement; a new seal with
retaining washers must be installed.
6. Slide the seal onto the Heater Element.
7. Slide the Heater Element into position; ensure it engages the
retainer clip in the suds container.
Note
A small amount of liquid soap can be used to help seat the seal into
its opening.
8. Ensure the seal is fully seated.
9. The Heater Element body should protrude about 3/4 “ from the
seal.
10. Refit the drip protection device (3), and new washers.
11. Refit the Temperature Sensor and make the electrical
connections.
