Is this a new dishwasher? Many only have a cold water connection.
If not new, and it has used hot water previously, it is likely that the solenoid inlet valve on the hot side has failed closed. It will need a service call.
It should work with a cold water supply WF865 hotpoint if it has one connection on the back it is a cold fill machine all new machines are cold fill only hot fill has gone now. hope this helps.
Connect the dishwasher to the HOT water side. Although most dishwashers have a heating element to heat the water, they are normally installed this way to reduce the amount of time the heating element is on. This not only extends the life of the heating element, but also reduces the amount of electricity required to heat the water. Another helpful hint: Before you run the dishwasher, run the hot water tap until the water runs hot. This will fill the dishwasher with water that is already hot instead of the cold water that normally sits in the line after the hot water has not been run for a while. If you have questions, please let me know. I hope this helps you.
run the water at the sink till its hot before starting the washer some lines will run cold for about a gallon before the hot water gets to the outlet depending on how far away the hotwater tank is
you can plumb into hot but there are some snags first hot water pressure is often a lot lower than cold so the machine may take a long time to fill second if the water is too hot it will destroy the resin of the water softener and you will see brown marks on the crockery. third it a bit uneconomical as you will use a lot of hot water
