Not sure if thats it because the one I'm working on doesn't have a calrod heating element.  I'm really trying to figure out how this thing heats, can't find anything on the parts breakdown about an element.  Thinking maybe its in the motor but can't confirm

From the service manual I gave you it says!  

Hidden Heater

A hidden heater allows for a cleaner appearance ensures that hot water is circulated to optimize cleaning. The hidden heater is non-operational during the dry segment of the cycle. When Power

are raised to provide needed heat during the dry segment of the cycle. Consult the Target / Max Temperature Limits charts under Target Temperatures in the Operational and Cycle Information section of this service guide.

The heater will only operate if the variable speed motor and the inverter send a signal to the main control, indicating that the current draw is correct (dishwasher has water, and variable speed motor is operational). The main control reads the signal and turns the heater on.

and automatically resets at 163°F. The second is a one shot TCO which trips at 349°F.

The heater assembly is thermally adhered to a metal plate inside the pump. 

 

Should the heater circuit fail, the complete pump assembly will need to be replaced.The heater and TCO’S are not available as separate parts.
