Dishwasher Heating Element
The heating element is responsible for raising water temperature during the wash and final rinse phases. If the element suffers a continuity failure (open circuit), the dishwasher cannot reach the 'end-of-phase' temperature required by the control logic. This causes the machine to extend the wash cycle indefinitely while waiting for a temperature rise that never occurs, eventually triggering a 7-1 or F7E1 error code.

Optical Water Indicator (OWI) Sensor
The OWI sensor contains both a turbidity sensor (to measure water cleanliness) and a thermistor (to measure temperature). If the thermistor is out of calibration or the lens is coated in scale/film, it may send inaccurate data to the control board, suggesting the water is still cold or dirty, which forces the software to extend the cycle duration to compensate.

Diverter Motor
The diverter motor rotates a disc to alternate water flow between the upper and lower spray arms. On this model, if the diverter motor or its internal position sensor fails, the unit may 'hang' in a specific phase of the wash cycle while attempting to orient the disc, leading to excessively long run times and eventually a diverter error code.
