Unable to reach min washing

Hi,

Please check this articler:

http://www.naturalhandyman.com/iip/infwaterheater/infwhadjust.html

A domestic dishwasher is provided with a control system having circuitry including timer switch means adapted to insure automatic wash water at a normal set temperature for all cycles with the user having an option to preselect an elevated wash water temperature. During wash periods, power for the heater is provided through timer switch means connected through a first thermostat whereby if the water in the chamber is below its set temperature, the first thermostat will energize a heater to provide auxiliary heat to the wash water. The timer switch means is operative to stop the timer motor until the water is heated to said set temperature. Once the water reaches the minimum set temperature, or if the water supply is initially above said minimum setting the first thermostat will switch, deenergizing the heater. If an extra hot wash option is selected by an Options Selector Switch, and the water temperature is below a second thermostat's elevated set point, the timer switch means will stop the timer motor providing extended heating until the second thermostat closes upon the water reaching the elevated temperature.

Need to replace the thermostat.

Thanks for contacting Fixya.

REPLACE THE HEATING ELEMENT IN THE BOTTOM OF THE WASHER BASIN, IT IS THE MOST COMMON FAIL POINT FOR THIS KIND OF PROBLEM.

Hello,

The thermostat can be found from underneath the dishwasher, most models have them mounted on the bottom of the tank. Some are screwed in and some models are clipped in,

Your on the right track with the thermostat being the problem.

I hope this helps.

Please reply if you need more help.
