I have the dishwasher on its front and have replaced the thermostat. and i can see the (buried) element. i had to leave it last night because it got late, but my question is, is there an easy way to get access to the element? i thought about removing the side panel? the element looks like this

That looks similar to the one in my Whirlpool dishwasher, I had to remove the bottom panel to reach the "works".

When you tip it over a small amount of water will come out and the panel is easily removed 4 small bolts hold it on.

Yeah i think the parts are all identical.

when you say panel are you talking about the side panel? i seen about 4 or 5 screws holding that on. i'l try whip that off first when i get home and see if i can reach the element..

No, the bottom panel, you need to put the machine on it's side to gain access through the bottom.
