How To Fix Dishwasher Heating Element. Your heating element is going to have two metal terminals. I have a 3 year old Frigidaire Dishwasher by Electrolux that has started leaking.
Line up your new heating element. If it is covered remove the lower dishrack and then remove the cover. While the actual water heater is responsible for heating water before it enters the dishwasher the heating element.
Squirt a little Jet Dry or other brand of rinse aid onto the seals.
If yours is covered then you will have to take out the dish. Open the dishwasher door and look into the tub. It is the thin circular tube at the base of your dishwasher. I looked under the washer and the leak is coming from where one side of the heating element connects.
