ADP6000WH/ADP6000IX--Whirlpool Dishwasher.(new) My problem--Water not getting hot--i have it connected to the cold water--should it heat the water ?

Error 3 not heating..on wix6000 /or / ADP6000WH
same boards .
rip out the the main mother board with all the black boxes ,and the transformer on it,,there is 1 black box its the biggest of them all ,next to the fuse with the blue cover on it ,with care take the black cover off with a screw driver carefully, not to damage the lower half of the internals,the lower section must not be damaged all ,once the cover is off you will see a copper coil on one side and on the other a set of breaker points ,at the end of the points ,get a screw driver and push in the outter point inward just a fraction,and bingo it will work again,of coarse its a temp solution,you will need to get a new breaker box from tandy or dick smith or simlar place to keep it going long term ..
hope this helps guys and gals ,please take extream caution when working on such dangerous power sourses ,and always make sure the power cord is removed before and repairs or tweeks..
cheers

Hi, Yes, it will keep water hot but most dishwasher require you to hook to the hot water so that the water is hot when it comes into the dishwasher and then the heating element just maintains the temperature...

Check your heating element..
A bad heating element causes many problems in dishwashers...
