A Whirlpool dishwasher in Canton, OH wasn’t drying dishes properly, with the customer reporting a bad heating element. Our diagnostic revealed the unit just needed error codes cleared to restore normal operation.
The Problem
The customer called about their Whirlpool dishwasher because dishes were not drying after wash cycles. They suspected the heating element had failed and needed replacement.
