NOT FUN!!!! The whole dishwasher has to be removed. Shut the water off to the dishwasher, and cut the power off, Then take the bottom panel off, and unhook the water line, at the water valve. Unhook the power, behind the small plate, and then I would unhook the drain line under the sink, and then take the 2 screws off, that hold the dishwasher in place, and then pull it out.Then lay it on its back and take the wires off, and then take the nuts off the element on the bottom side, then lean it back up, and open the door, and pull it through. Reverese the process, and 2 hours later, you have it. If you need me you can reach me at my web site at ApplianceEducator.com Tom |
