What type of adhesive is used to fasten the 325w heating element?

Replacing the tailgate back glass on a 2004 Mercury Mountaineer involves several steps and requires some tools and caution. Please note that working with glass can be dangerous, so if you're not comfortable with these procedures, it's recommended to seek professional help. Here's a general outline of the process:
**Tools and Materials Needed:**
- Replacement back glass
- Gloves and safety goggles
- Screwdrivers (various types)
- Trim removal tools
- Torx or socket wrench set
- Putty knife or scraper
- Adhesive remover
- Sealant or urethane adhesive
- Painter's tape
**Steps:**
1. **Safety Precautions:**
- Wear gloves and safety goggles to protect yourself from broken glass and debris.
- Work in a well-ventilated area and avoid inhaling any fumes from adhesives or sealants.
2. **Prepare the Area:**
- Clean the area around the back glass to ensure proper adhesion of the new glass.
3. **Remove Interior Panels:**
- Open the tailgate and remove the interior trim panels carefully. This might involve removing screws, clips, and other fasteners. Use trim removal tools to avoid damaging the panels.
- Carefully disconnect any electrical connectors for defroster or other features connected to the glass.
4. **Remove Old Glass:**
- Using a putty knife or scraper, gently remove any rubber gasket or adhesive around the old glass.
- Have a helper support the glass from the outside while you work from the inside to prevent it from falling.
5. **Clean and Prepare the Area:**
- Remove any remaining adhesive from the window frame using adhesive remover or a suitable solvent. Ensure the surface is clean and free of debris.
6. **Install New Glass:**
- Apply a bead of sealant or urethane adhesive around the perimeter of the window frame.
- Carefully position the new glass in place. Make sure it's aligned properly.
- Have a helper support the glass while you work from the inside.
- Press the glass firmly against the adhesive to create a secure bond.
7. **Reassemble Interior Panels:**
- Reconnect any electrical connectors for defroster or other features.
- Reinstall the interior trim panels and secure them with screws, clips, and fasteners.
8. **Allow Adhesive to Cure:**
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the adhesive's curing time. This typically takes a few hours to a day.
9. **Test the Glass:**
- Check the functionality of any electrical features, like the defroster.
10. **Clean Up:**
- Clean any excess adhesive that might have squeezed out during installation.
Always refer to the specific instructions provided by the glass manufacturer and consider consulting a professional if you're unsure about any step of the process. Remember that working with glass requires precision and care to ensure a safe and successful replacement.

The Heating Element simply slides into a tube affixed to the cooling unit. There are 2 possible tubes to use, you may use either.

mine did the same thing I am going to use a high heat construction adhesive

No adhesive will permanently hold the sink, you should have a fabricator drill and install pins to screw the sink into place, you could also push it tight to the stone and then secure it a piece of wood screwed into the back wall of the cabinet.

There is a seperate element for the water heater. so likely to be a faulty heater or thermistor which is fastened toi the element
You really need a test meter to determine which part is faulty.

There is a kit available at most parts stores, that has a liquid type solder for this reason, if properly prepped, and the instructions followed, it usually works decently. Good luck...

get a good can of spray adhesive and follow the directions on can....can get at most hardware stores! good luck!

hi The heating element is used to help dry the dishes. In most dishwashers, the heating element fits around the screen in the bottom of the tub housing; it looks like an electric oven element. The heating element doesn't malfunction often, but it can burn out. If you suspect a faulty element:

Step 1: Test it with a VOM set to the RX1 scale. Remove the dishwasher's bottom access panel and disconnect one of the power leads to the element. Clip one probe of the VOM to each element terminal. If the meter reads between 15 and 30 ohms, the element is working. If the reading is higher than 30 ohms, the element is faulty and should be replaced.

Step 2: As needed, replace the heating element with a new one made for the dishwasher. Disconnect the electrical leads to the element's terminal screws and remove the nuts or other fasteners that hold the element to the terminals. From inside the tub, lift the element out. It may be held by clips and ceramic blocks in the tub, but you can easily thread it past these spacers. Set the new heating element in position, reconnect the power leads, and replace the fasteners that hold the element in place.,,,,,,,,,,,,please rate it
