The Stero 0P-551134 Dishwasher Heating Element 2000W 115V is a resistive heating component used in commercial undercounter kitchen equipment. It converts electrical energy into heat to raise wash and rinse water temperatures during the cleaning and sanitizing stages. In operation it is installed within the wash tank assembly, where it maintains consistent water temperature required for effective detergent performance and proper sanitization cycles. The element is integrated into the machine heating circuit and is controlled by thermostats or electronic control board that regulate activation based on programmed wash conditions and safety limits.
