Heating Element; Turbidity Sensor - GE GLD8110 Technical Service Manual

Heating Element

The heating element can be activated using TEST
Mode.
The dual-wattage heating element produces 850
watts during wash, to help heat the water, and an
effective wattage due to cycling of 541 watts during
the dry cycle.
Water inlet temperature must be at least 120 °F for
proper drying. Lower water inlet temperature will
prevent proper convection air movement and
increase drying time substantially.
If the problem is that the dishes are not drying
correctly, don't overlook the rinse agent. A rinse
agent will improve the water sheeting action and
drying performance.
It is normal for the stainless steel tub and inner door
panel to retain water droplets even though the dishes
are dry.
Heating element Strip Circuit
The heating element nuts are located on the
underside of the washer, near the door. Ample force
is required to remove the nuts. Removing the
dishwasher from installation may be required.
