My son bought a house with an Electrolux dishwasher, which (upon inspection) has an overheated connector on one side of the heating element. I know that overheating can occur when the connection is loose/bad, but is this the likely cause of the problem (or can the problem have been caused by a bad heating element - or something else that should be investigated)? brianta attached the following image(s):

The likely cause is a bad connection at the connector.
You will have to get the old connector off, The heating element connector must be cleaned. I would use emery clothe or sandpaper. You will then have to put a new connector onto the wire. Be sure to use a high current type connector. You will have to cut the wire back till you get nice clean copper. |
