The heating element is used to maintain hot water for washing and rinsing operations in some models and to provide a source of heat for drying the dishes.
B_ Operation
A helical,strand of resistance wire is encasedin a sheath with magnesium oxide tightly packed between the wire and the sheaf:for electrical insulation Heat is generated in the resistance wire when 120 volts AC is applied to it, The heat is then transmitted through the magnesium oxide and through the sheath to the water or air surrounding it, See Figure 9'3for a
The direct causesfor the element, to malfunction are,
l, interruption of the electrical circuit to the heating element,,
2, The helical resistance wire becomes burned or broken
3, The helical resistance wire
