Repair & Advice
Removed dishwasher and ripped it over to reveal heating element connections. The red wire on the heating element had corroded almost completely off. Was somewhat burnt too. Removed heating element and replaced with new on. The only problem was the plastic nut used to secure the heat element as well as the washer were all corroded. Had to order another plastic nut and washer. Reset dishwasher panel and it works perfect.
