Product review (4 stars): Pricey fix for a failed heater element
My d/w had a round element that burned out and while I understand you can still find the direct replacement element and skip replacing the control board I decided to bite the bullet and do what the manufacturer says and install the newer kit, thankfully it was on sale at the time I needed it. I suggest you watch instructional videos before attempting the repair, they are easily found via google. Overall I had no issues installing it and it worked without a hitch.
