Rank: Member Groups: Registered Joined: 3/27/2016(UTC) Posts: 2		My dishwasher stopped heating a few weeks back. I checked and the heating element had a dark spot that was cracked. So I replaced the element. That didn't fix the problem. I thought maybe the replacement part I got was bad, so I tried another new heating element with no luck. I then replaced the high temp thermostat even though tests on it came back good. That didn't fix the problem. Rusty I checked the ohms for the fuse and im not getting a reading. The service manual says a reading below 3 ohms means it's good. If the reading is over 3 ohms, to replace the board. I am lost now. What else can I check to get this dishwasher fixed? I've replaced most heating parts. Please help!
