So, the dishwasher stopped drying the dishes. This could mean a couple of things, but one thought was a defective heater element. When I pulled the unit out this morning, I found a wire had come off the heater element.

Upon closer inspection, it appeared to have burned :eek: (some melted insulation, some charred plastic). The connector itself was still attached to the element, but the wire was no longer attached.

Even though a disconnected element explains the lack of drying, I'm thinking this indicates something else is wrong. Any ideas or recommendations?
