The GE Dishwasher Heating Element is a small device used in modern-day dishwashers and plays a critical role in the function of a dishwasher. Although a broken heating element is not the worst thing that could happen to a dishwasher, it certainly is an inconvenience and means you'll waste time hand-drying your dishes when they could just be automatically dried in the dishwasher. Unplug the dishwasher before installing this part. Replacement is guaranteed to be 100% satisfactory, and full refund service is guaranteed.
