Do heating elements wear out with time and should I replace this one?[/COLOR]
Yes heating elements can burn out but it could also be that it is not getting power.
Remove power from the unit (unplug or flip the breaker).
Remove the kick plate and a wire from one side of the heating element.
Measure the element with a meter usually around 15 ohms.
If infinite ohms (open) the element is toast.

HOW DO YOU CHANGE THIS ELEMENT IN THIS GE DISHWASHER? [/COLOR]
Once you get the kick plate off it is self explanatory.
Check the rubber seal in case you have to also replace them.

If you do not own a meter, I would suggest you purchase a one. You can get a decent digital multimeter for under $20.00. You do not need fancy though it is nice if the leads are a couple feet long.
If it saves ordering one unnecessary part it has paid for itself and you end up owning a useful tool.
Most places will not let you return electrical parts so if you order it, you own it.
A couple things to watch when measuring ohms and continuity
1. Always remove power from the machine otherwise you could blow your meter.
2. Always disconnect at least one side of any device you are checking. This eliminates the possibility of measuring an alternate/parallel circuit path.
3. When checking for closed contacts and continuity use the lowest scale (Usually 200 ohms). Then try higher scales. This scale is 0 to 200 ohms so if the device you are measuring is 300 ohms this scale would show an open circuit which it is not, you are just measuring outside the scale's dynamic range.

There is a good STICKY at the start of this forum about it's use.
