Commercial dishwasher in a site i look after went 'pop' today, it stopped working a couple of months ago and i found a 4a fuse had blown on the PCB. I changed the fuse and it has worked fine until today, took the cover off and saw one of the three heating elements has burnt out.
Found the part in the spares catalogue so i'll order one up and i'll just tidy up the wiring connections but im just wondering about how this has been connected up now i'm looking at the photos on my phone (there was a diagram on the inside of the panel but i didnt take a pic unfortunately) the element has 3 cores and 6 connections, i'm assuming its L1,L2,L3 and the bottom 3 connections are linked together but there doesnt appear to be a return path on the photos. Also someone has disconnected one of the cables and taped it up previously.
I can find out the other stuff tomorrow morning and get the wiring diagram but thought i would get some opinions on the operation and cause of failure if anyone has them!
