Tank
The tank, made of 304 stainless steel, isn’t available as a service part.
Heater Operation
Dishwashers use flow-through heaters instead of exposed elements, saving
space and allowing taller tanks holding larger dinner plates. Flow-through
heaters prevent dishware damage from exposed elements and allow water to
be continuously filtered and heated.

Filtered water from the sump flows through the circulation pump into the flow-
through heater. All heaters are protected by a 185ºF Hi-limit (high temperature
cutout) and by a flow switch which prevents heaters from operating when no
water is flowing.
