Heating Element
The heating element is responsible for providing the latent heat required to raise the temperature of the dish load and internal air. Failure of the resistive coil prevents water evaporation during the final rinse and drying phases. Without this thermal energy, the air cannot hold sufficient moisture to facilitate the drying of the load.

High-Limit Thermostat
This bi-metal safety switch is wired in series with the heating element. If the thermostat reaches a trip-point due to an overheat event or component fatigue, it opens the circuit, cutting all power to the heater. A failed thermostat results in a cold-dry cycle where no heat is generated despite the control board's command.

Vent and Fan Assembly
The ProDry system utilizes an active fan motor to pull moist air out of the tub through a vent. If the fan motor fails or the internal flapper fails to actuate, saturated air remains trapped inside the dishwasher. As the unit cools, this moisture condensates back onto the dishes, effectively negating the drying process.
