The heating element nuts are located on the
underside of the washer, near the back. Ample
force is required to remove the nuts. Removing
the dishwasher from installation may be required.

The heating element can be activated using
Service Mode
.
The dual-wattage heating element produces 875
watts during wash, to help heat the water, and
an effective wattage due to cycling of 700 watts
during the dry cycle.
It is normal for the heating element to cycle during
HEATED DRY. The control energizes the heating
element continuously for the fi rst 6 minutes, then
cycles the heating element ON for 60 seconds,
then OFF for 60 seconds for the remainder of the
HEATED DRY cycle.
Selecting ADDED HEAT will energize the heater
for the entire time during the last pre-wash cycle
and the fi nal rinse cycle. Circulation time during
the fi nal rinse is increased 2.8 times the normal
with this option. If selected after the wash cycle
has started, the feature will not take effect until
the beginning of the next fi ll. This option is not
available for the RINSE ONLY cycle.
Water inlet temperature must be at least 120°F
for proper drying. Low water inlet tem per a ture
will pre vent proper con vec tion air move ment and
increase drying time sub stan tial ly.
If the problem is that the dishes are not drying
cor rect ly, don’t overlook the rinse agent. A rinse
agent will improve the water sheeting action and
drying performance.
It is normal for the stainless steel tub and inner
door panel to retain water droplets even though
the dishes are dry.
