Dishwasher Heating Element
The heating element is a resistive load subjected to extreme thermal cycling. If the internal filament fractures due to age or calcium buildup, the circuit becomes open, preventing water temperature rise. The dishwasher's control board detects this lack of heat and triggers the blinking 'Clean' light as a safety lockout.

Electronic Control Board
The main control board uses a heavy-duty mechanical relay to switch power to the heater. If the relay contacts carbonize or the solder joint fails, the heater will never receive line voltage despite being physically intact, causing the software to report a heating error.

High-Limit Thermostat
This bi-metal safety switch is wired in series with the heating element. If it fails in the 'open' position or trips prematurely, it breaks the electrical path to the heater, resulting in a system-detected thermal failure and the subsequent flashing error code.
