I'm on my third dishwasher in about 30 years and have never had an element fail.
The expensive issue, with Bosch/Neffs at least, is that the heater element is an integral part of the pump. So you're in for £200-odd, plus fitting, when your heater element goes, and you find that it's only marginally more expensive to replace the whole machine, so that's what you do.
That's what happened to me, and I was a bit cross at the time. Until I realised that my six year old d/w had cost me only a pound a week to own during its life, and maybe that wasn't so bad after all?
