If it is a new dishwater, there is a gov't restriction on the heating element that stops it from heating the water and drying the dishes. If anyone knows how to override this, please advise.
Clean any removable parts in the dishwasher or sink, then use an orange-based cleaner for the inside, being careful around the heating element.
my Bosch SHU4300 dishwasher does not have HOT water anymore. Is there an element in there?
If you mean an electric furnace then normally it is nichrome. a heating element in a heat strip is made of what type of wire
Wire, an internal heating element and metal, that's about it.
They use hot water and if it is not hot enough, the heating element used to dry the dishes will heat it to the right temperature.
the element has a open in it !
Yes heating element is burner assembly.
Element, meaning a heating element and not a natural element. The heating element is made by wrapping 'nichrome' wire around a flat sheet of Mica composite board. This then glows red hot, when mains electricity is applied to it. Nichrome is an alloy of Nickel and chromium. Chosen because it has electrical resistance and can stand repeated heating and cooling without melting.
Positive temperature coefficient heating element. Resistivity grow larger with higher temperatures so the heating element should be self regulating.
You have a GE dishwasher. "Calrod" is GE's trademarked name for their heating elements. (They call the ones on their electric ranges the same thing.)
Because metals are good heat conductors !
