Is this part OEM - and if it is why would it be melting the bottom of dishwashers? - Bad Temp Sensor?

I'm not a 100% sure if it's oem, but I have not had any issues with it melting to the bottom. My old one blistered through and this one has worked great for us. Did a prong or some other tab that keeps the heating element from touching the bottom melt off?

I briefly had that problem. Put it in the dishwasher on high temp, sanitize settings and it'll be good as new.

The two sensors that are on the far right of the unit might be crusted with deposits.I would fill the base full with 1/2 water and 1/2 vinegar (if it's real full it will cover thesensors) or you can chip it off but be careful about damaging the sensor).

I am not an appliance technician. Possibly the problem is with the o-ring seal. Not the filter. If you still have the old one try swapping the o-ring from the filter you removed. Other than that I have no idea.

I am not sure. This part did NOT fit my LG dishwasher which is a 2009 model no. LDF7932ST. The correct part no. For my DW is AJH31248604. When I ordered the part from Amazon I gave them my machine model no. Only as I did not know any part numbers. They sent me the no. 3485ED1002B which did not fit. I eventually had to return this part after I received and installed the correct one. My account was credited for the cost of the part.. I had to pay the shipping, each way ($15.00 x2), and that is not right. The big problem with Amazon is you cannot contact them.. Ther is no phone no. If you email them its generic I.e. they don't read your explanation. I was told by an authorized LG serviceman that this part no. Is used on all late model machines I.e. post 2004. The part you are asking about and I received in error is for older machines I.e. 2004 and earlier. I would check to be sure you are getting the correct part number. LG makes all these parts. The install is involved but anyone with moderate to good mechanical appitude can do it in about two hours. Go to you tube to watch an excellent video. Good luck, my machine is now better than it was when new. I believe I had a defective part from the start.

Maybe the part is bad. I would send it back. The one I purchased is working perfectly and haven't had any issues what so ever. Hope everything works out :-)

Paul here. Verify your splice connection with OHM meter. if you get the error after the vehicle has run for a short time it is most likely a heater circuit fault. Exchange the sensor. I had the same problem with one on my Audi & replaced the universal unit with a OEM sensor. My universal unit failed after several miles.

I am sorry, I am just a homeowner . I know how difficult it is trying to figure out parts,especially aftermarket. I have made a few errors myself.Try going to Hayward and get the part number and see if it is listed, or I usually contact the manufacturer of the part, they always know.

I've run every part of the Venta through the dishwasher with a bowl of vinegar. Didn't have much trouble with warping and the vinegar helps clean the dishwasher too! The real question is: does running the parts through the dishwasher actually clean everything? For the top housing the answer is a resounding yes (take the motor out of the housing first). For the disks, I have mixed results. I have very hard water with a lot of calcium salts and it does help some but after 6 years the disks are pretty caked and likely nothing will help. That said you can always buy replacement disks and the cost is about $40/per on Venta's site. For the bottom, I have found that the best way to clean is to just soak in vinegar for a few hours with some pretty warm water. Then a bit of elbow grease and it gets mostly clean. There is still white residue on the sides, but I'm not really worried about that.

I do not know how to fix this, but I am pretty sure if it is the sensor you can order it and replace it. Before that check to see if it got clogged.

It appeared to me it was the OEM part. It has worked well for a couple of yrs now. So, if it's not OEM, it's built well.

Any good? I am not sure what you want to know. They are Bosch sensors. They are (to my understanding) OEM. As long as you buy the correct sensor (up/down stream cabling is of different lengths) for the correct placement/problem, they work fine. I purchased two upstream pieces because they were due to be replaced. I had gotten several codes to that effect. No codes of that type since.IF you plan on a downstream sensor resolving 'inefficient cat' codes..you will almost certainly be disappointed. The O2 sensor is not likely the cause of those codes. Such codes are MORE likely to be a cat failure: Particularly the left (driver's side) cat on an E38. Any good? I am not sure what you want to know. They are Bosch sensors.

No longer have Kenmore dishwasher since it kept burning fuses and they could determine why. But it does appear that is the correct fuse.

Yea happened to me too. I emailed them and they sent me a replacement part. I was told not to max out the heat temp. So I kept it less then a 100 deg. C from the max temp after I replaced the thermol . They did not charge me for the part either. So basically if I were you and if you have time to return it for a full refund and buy another one and keep it 100 c under the max temp you should be fine. You could email them and see if they will give you the replacement part but it was a little hard changing the part. But it can be done. It's been working fine ever since.

I can't tell you... It may be a defect because mine seems to be as hot at the top as it does on the bottom... You should try to contact the manufacturer about that problem. If its an electrical issue, you don't want it to turn bad.
