My dishwasher takes and extra 85 minutes for a normal wash cycle for a total of almost 3 hours. The heating element does not heat. I checked the element and the high temp thermostat and they have the correct resistance and continuity. Could a bad thermistor 8269208 cause the heating element not heat? What else could be the cause?

Here are your parts
Parts for Kenmore Dishwasher 66516914001 - AppliancePartsPros.com

See the attachment for the tech sheet.

Yes a bad thermistor could cause your problem, so I would check it.

You checked the heater and the hi-limit, did ypou check them in series at the control board just to be sure that the wiring to them is also OK.

If OK and the thermistor is OK then I would say that the control board is toast.

Could be just the heater relay on the board but this is difficult to troubleshoot.

How do you get to the control board? Do you have to remove the complete stainless steel panel on the inside of the door?

I am not sure as I cannot find a parts break down for this unit.

It is actually made by Whirlpool.
When I look up the control board I see it is also used on a Whirlpool Voyager.
Below is a link to a manual for that model, hopefully they are put together the same. You will have to join the site and be logged in to download the manual.
