Dishwasher Heating Element
The heating element is responsible for the thermal transition of the water during the wash and rinse cycles. If the Calrod element has an internal break in the resistive filament, the water never reaches the setpoint required by the thermistor to advance the cycle. This results in the control board stalling the timer in 'thermal hold' until a timeout error (typically F7E1 or F7E2) is triggered.

Optical Water Indicator (OWI) Sensor
The OWI sensor contains the thermistor used to monitor water temperature and an optical sensor to measure turbidity (soil levels). If the thermistor is out of calibration or the optical lens is obstructed by scale/residue, the sensor sends incorrect data to the control board, preventing the cycle from transitioning into the next phase and causing the motor to run continuously in an attempt to clean or heat.

Main Electronic Control Board
The control board contains the mechanical relay that completes the high-voltage circuit to the heating element. If the relay contacts have scorched or failed in the open position, the heater will never receive power despite the logic requesting it. This leads to the same 'running too long' symptom as a failed element, as the software waits for a temperature rise that cannot occur.
