Haier GE GFW510SCN0 Technical Service Manual page 49

The heater assembly is held in place by a bracket
attached to the outside of the outer tub, and a
10-mm hex-nut which presses a rubber gasket
against the tub opening.
When the 10-mm hex-nut is tightened, it
squeezes the rubber gasket between two
mounting plates to seal the heater assembly to
the opening of the tub.
The 10-mm hex-nut is set from the factory at 35-
to 40-in. pounds of torque.
Heating Element Specifications
Voltage, amps and resistance can be checked
from the J506 connector pins 4 and 5 on the main
board.
• 120 VAC
• 1,000 watts
• Approximately 8.3 amps
• Approximately 14.1~15.6 W (ohms)
Operation of the heater assembly can be checked
by using Service Mode Test 20 (see the Service
Mode Test in the Diagnostics and Service
Information section of this guide).
Specific failures associated with the heater
assembly can initiate Fault Codes 37 (see Fault
Codes section in this service guide).

2. Seat the heater assembly in the tub opening.
3. Install the 10-mm hex-nut and use a torque
wrench to tighten the 10-mm hex-nut to 35 to
40-in. pounds of torque.
CAUTION: Proper torque must be applied to the
10-mm hex-nut to assure a proper seal. Under-
torqueing could cause water leakage; over-
torqueing could cause the tub to crack.
4. Connect the thermistor wire harness.
