Description

This heater nut secures the dishwasher's heating element where it passes through the tub, helping maintain a tight connection and proper positioning. Replacing a damaged or missing nut can help prevent leaks and keep the element stable.

• Fastens the heating element to the tub from below to hold it firmly in place
• Helps support a watertight connection at the element pass-through when used with the proper seal
• Replace if the nut is cracked, heat-damaged, stripped, or missing
• Common symptoms include water leaking under the unit near the heater terminals and a loose or wobbly heating element

What's included: Heater nut. Install notes:

• Disconnect power at the breaker and shut off water before servicing
• Access the nut from beneath the dishwasher; remove the toe-kick and pull the unit forward if needed
• Support the element from inside the tub while tightening; snug gently and do not overtighten to avoid damage
• Restore power/water and run a short cycle to check for leaks
