Heater diagnosing

Test programs heat the water to 150ºF at ~ 2ºF / minute. To save time, don't run the entire test – when water circulates and the heater is on, measure the incoming current to the dishwasher. If the current is ~ 11A, the heater is OK. If the current is ~ 1.5 2A, the control or heater could be faulty.

At the control or heater, measure the voltage between the large red heater wire and a chassis ground or the dw neutral (WHRD on/off switch or flow switch wire). If the voltage is 120 VAC, the control is OK. If the voltage is 0, the heater relay has failed – replace the control.
