No hot water during wash cycle

During the wash and rinse cycles there will normally be water behind the drum. The drum is surrounded by a tank. Water could remain in the tank if the drain cycle ended before all the water was pumped out.

Hello Stephen Foster - Based on the symptoms you are describing, typically, the unit could possibly have a faulty timer, temperature sensor or water valve. Confirm that the holes are properly connected. Try resetting the washer by unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately ten minutes and turn the unit back on. However, if the issue persists, it is always a good idea to have a service tech properly diagnose your appliance.

consult your owner manual about you are unsure about if the machine is acting anormally
Some machines, is running hot water during cycles, other cold water during cycles.

God bless you

washers dont have heating elements, they use hot water from the hot water tank, most likely clogged screen at either end of the hot water hose, replace or clean screen(s) check for screen at water valve, bad,weak or burned solenoid on water valve, replace valve, reason wash cycle is long----- water restriction during fill and rinse cycles they are controlled by the water level switch

They start with hot or warm ,what/ever the setting and rinse with cold water. Check the temperature adjustment and the cycle it's on as some do different things on different cycles.

If the water to your kitchen tap is above 120 to around 145 your machine is getting hot water. If not your need to adjust your hot water heater.
It is fine to open the DW door during the wash cycle. The unit will hold the wash cycle. Open the door during the start of the wash cycle (not rinse) and see it the dispenser door is open. If not it could be the timer is not sending the proper signal to the dispenser on when to open. This would be a timer issue and you would want to replace the timer. I doubt that this is it but it is possible.
Hope this helps.

Your hoses are reversed.

How hot is the wash temp?It should be 150-165 degrees.The model is an am14 not an am15?I'm hobart tech and repair these units weekly.Let ne know.

Water from the wash arms must be able to reach the detergent cup during the wash. It sounds as though the machine may be over-loaded during the wash and water does not cause the detergent to mix with the wash tank water. Try washing a cycle with nothing in the machine. Does the detergent still stick to the door?
If no, the machine is overloaded. Wash fewer items or smaller items so spray will contact detergent.
If yes, you have probably lost wash pressure. Clean all screens and jets.
Hope this helps,
