I have this Whirlpool dishwasher that I replaced a broken heating element and once I replaced it I tested it under a diagnosis and LOAD test I was able to confirm that this heating element is working and heating however, when I use it in normal mode it does not heat as far as I understand that the error codes have to be cleared in order for the heating function to work again. I did try the service diagnosis by hitting three buttons 1-2-3 1-2-3 1-2-3 and going into that and getting into service diagnosis mode run and letting it complete Is there a step missing as far as clearing the error codes from this ?
If the error codes are not clearing does mean a faulty computer?
went into service diagnosis mode and let the unit run to complete after confirming that the heating element is heating (took an amp reading at the hearing element) and working with a load test it still does not clear the code and will not heat during a normal wash

Hello
On this model the control is programmed to disable the heater but will continue to run if it detects a heating problem. Running diagnostics clears the control. The door needs to be closed when entering into service diagnostics. See the technician sheet on page #3 in the technician manual. Verify the heating circuit is complete on page 5-7 in the Job Aid sheet. Check the hi limit thermostat to make sure it is not defective or stuck open.
