Problem
Dishes would not dry or clean and dishwasher would not get steamy hot.
Tools
Pliers, screwdriver.
Repair & Advice
The dishwasher had not been cleaning well at all (had to run multiple times and still not getting clean). We also discovered the dishwasher was not heating very hot (the heating element was sometimes warm to the touch.
Replacing thermostat fixed the problem. Now we have clean dishes again from the dishwasher.

Problem
Heater did not work.
Tools
Straight slot to remove the base. Phillips to remove screws holding dishwasher to counter.
Repair & Advice
Replaced the heating element with one I purchased from a local parts dealer. Paid twice as much for it than Parts Dr charges. But, I was in a hurry to fix it.
That didn’t fix the problem.
Replaced both the High limit switch and the thermistor and soil sensor.
Works great!
