Description
Restore the heating and drying capability of your appliance with the genuine OEM Whirlpool W10283681 Dishwasher Heating Element. Located at the bottom of the dishwasher tub, this element is responsible for heating the wash water during the cleaning cycles and generating the necessary heat to assist in drying the dishes at the end of the cycle. A faulty element is the primary reason for poor drying and ineffective cleaning.

- Dishes are not cleaning effectively (water is not reaching the required hot temperature).
