    I would use a plastic scraper and scrape as much as possible off the heating element. It might stink the first time you use the heater but maybe if you use the dishwasher a few times without the dry cycle at the end it will clean it off. We never use our dry cycle anyway, however I know that element is used to heat the water also.
