Dishwasher Heating Element
The heating element is responsible for the thermal gain during wash and rinse cycles. If the resistive coil has an internal break (open circuit), the water will never reach the target temperature required to advance the timer. This forces the control board into an extended cycle loop until a safety timeout error is triggered.

Optical Water Indicator (OWI) Sensor
This component integrates both a turbidity sensor and a thermistor. If the thermistor component is calibrated incorrectly or fouled by calcium deposits, it sends inaccurate temperature data to the control board. The board then extends the cycle indefinitely because it believes the water is still below the required sanitation temperature.

Electronic Control Board
The control board contains the mechanical relay that switches power to the heating circuit. If the relay contacts are pitted or the logic circuit fails to interpret thermal feedback correctly, the heating element will not energize. This results in the same 'Runs Too Long' symptom as a failed element but originates from the logic command center.
