Frigidaire 154106202 Dishwasher Heating Element Nut

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 154106202 is a threaded retaining nut used to secure the heating element in place within a dishwasher tub. Installed on the underside of the tub, it threads onto the heating element terminals and applies the clamping force needed to hold the element assembly in its correct position. The nut works in conjunction with the adjacent seals and mounting hardware to maintain compression, positional stability, and connection integrity throughout the service life of the element. This is an OEM-specification replacement part suited for appliance technicians performing heating element service or replacement.

This nut is used during heating element replacement or whenever the element has become loose, corroded, or the original nut has stripped or failed. It is positioned at the tub penetration point where the element terminals pass through the tub wall and are secured from the exterior. Proper installation of this nut is essential for maintaining a watertight seal and ensuring the element remains seated correctly during dishwasher operation.

Key Features

• Threaded retaining design provides secure clamping force at the heating element mounting interface
• Compatible with the seals and hardware surrounding the tub mounting point
• Maintains positional stability of the heating element assembly during normal operation
• OEM part number 154106202 ensures direct fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement heating element nut for compatible FRIGIDAIRE dishwasher models. Consult your model and serial number against FRIGIDAIRE parts documentation to confirm fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified appliance technician. Disconnect electrical power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker and confirm power is off before beginning any service. Access to the nut requires working from the underside of the tub; remove the lower access panel as needed. Do not overtighten the nut, as this can damage the tub wall or the adjacent sealing components.
