Yes almost all dishwashers need to be connected to cold water as they have a heater in them, alot of newer dishwashers will bring up a fault code if you connect it to hot water

an ntc is very reliable. have you checked continuity thro the heater? other common fault is a dry joint devoloped on the control card - take it out and check for dry joints

hit the cancel drain cycle. Often times the dishwasher drain hose is not installed properly. It must be routed up as high as the dishwasher as soon as it comes out of the unit. May be also that there was a little regular soap or something that made it sudds up. vegetable oil poured into the dw tub will remove the sudds. After running vegetable oil for about 5 minutes, pour 2 cups of vinegar in to the tub and run it on the hottest longest cycle with no dishes in it. This will clean the residue out and what ever "gunk" may be in the internal parts. Use Only powder detergent. No gel and No tabs. These 2 cause a build-up over a period of time of use and reduce the performance of your machine.

The water connection is the smaller of the two and generally near the front of the machine, usually a threaded fitting on a electric solenoid will need a pipe to compression 90 fitting if its not already installed, it needs to be hooked to the hot water and that can be found on the left side going up to the sink faucet to be sure run some hot water and the side that gets warm is the correct one, you will need to turn off the water and install a T to connect the dishwasher if an unused shut off is not already there for the dishwasher. The drain line takes a hose and clamp and will hook into your drain iether through a dishwaser t or the disposal if you have one has a connection for it.
SOURCE: Must a dishwasher be connected to hot water outlet
Can be connected to either.
If you have a combination boiler connect it to the hot gas is 7X cheaper than electricity to heat the water so save yourself some money. It will also do a cycle in about 30 minutes instead of over an hour!

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...
