Product review (5 stars): Frigidaire Dishwasher Wasn't Drying
A seemingly common issue on my "stainless" like Frigidaire dishwasher was that it wasn't drying (i.e. the heating element wasn't functioning). Upon inspection under the dishwasher, with the breaker to the dishwasher turned off, the back connection to this thermostat had burned, literally. The insulated connector was charred black, the metal destroyed under it, and the male connector on the thermostat was also destroyed. There appeared to have been a fire on this connector that put itself out. Replaced this thermostat, cut and stripped back the wire, and crimped on a new basic female quick connect to replace the burned one. Kinda scary really, the fact that the old one burned up, but this part restored the heated dry function.
