Dishwasher Heating Element Replacement (Commercial Unit) – St. Catharines, ON
This commercial dishwasher heating element replacement was completed for a business client in the St. Catharines / Niagara region. The unit was no longer reaching proper sanitizing temperatures, and the customer reported dishes coming out wet and not fully cleaned.
Issue – Dishwasher Not Heating
The commercial dishwasher was filling and washing, but water temperature remained low throughout the cycle. Without proper heat, detergent cannot activate fully and sanitization cannot occur — a serious concern for restaurants and commercial kitchens.
Diagnosis
On-site testing by our local technician confirmed that the heating element had failed. The control system was calling for heat, but the element was not drawing current — indicating an open heating circuit.
Repair Performed
We removed the defective heating element and installed a new OEM replacement. All wiring connections were inspected, secured, and tested before restoring power to the unit to ensure safe and reliable operation.
- Confirmed heating failure
- Tested element resistance and supply voltage
- Removed faulty heating element
- Installed new OEM heating element
- Verified proper water temperature during cycle
Result
Proper heating was restored and the dishwasher returned to normal operation. The unit once again reached required wash temperatures and delivered clean, sanitized results for the Niagara-area business.
