Using this dishwasher heating element is straightforward. First, make sure your dishwasher is unplugged or the power is turned off at the breaker. Then, locate the old heating element in your dishwasher. Remove the old one carefully, taking note of how it's connected. Connect the new heating element using the 6.4mm spade terminals, making sure they're securely attached. Once connected, use the central mounting bolt on the 50mm X 27mm bracket to fix it in place. After installation, plug your dishwasher back in or turn the power on at the breaker. When it comes to maintenance, keep an eye on the performance of your dishwasher. If you notice the element isn't heating properly or the dishwasher trips the earth leakage circuit breaker again, it might be a sign of an issue. In such cases, it's best to have a professional check it out. Remember, this product comes with a full guarantee, so if there are any problems, you can reach out to us. Also, since it's suitable for many models and brands, you can be confident that it will work well with your dishwasher.
