Just want to know how hot the water temp is when dishwasher is in use.

Check water temp in might be to cool that is the first step......

That doesn't sound right, because it should be hooked up to the hot water to begin with, the heating element in the dishwasher just boosts the temp for sterilizing.

When you have a dishwasher you usually increase the temp of the hot water tank, it's usually in the manual.

If you have small children then it's better not to make it very hot.

As to why the dishwasher isn't getting real hot, the heating element is probably bad and needs replacing.

Also setting can be low or off, but water should be hot even if they are low at least what temp your hot water tank is set at.

see this causes and fix it. God bless you
will not run on cold water or even luke warm water, it has to be hot water. Most will even specify 120F or hotter water temp as incoming water. These new units only use 1.5-3 gallons of water for each fill, so the temp has to be there. Many brands recommend that you run your kitchen sink water until it gets hot, then start filling your dishwasher, we also recommend that. Some dishwashers will stop if it senses too cold of water coming in, others will try to warm the water and if it can't in so much time, the unit will stop and give an error code. Hot water also helps dissolve and mix the soap detergent better, giving you better washing results. Just make sure the water is hot going into your dishwasher, no getting around it.

THE WATER LINE TO THE DISHWASHER SHOULD BE FROM SAME HOT WATER LINE TO THE SINK. RUN THE HOT WATER IN THE SINK UNTIL HOT THEN TURN ON DISK WASHER AND CHECK THAT THE TEMP IS CLOSE TO SAME TEMP. HAVE SEEN COLD WATER LINE USED. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE WHICH LINE THAT THE WATER LINE TO DISHWASHER IS CONNECTED.

If this is a residential dishwasher the temp actually is controlled by the water heater. The dishwasher should be connected up to the hot side of the sink at the angle stop. If you run the sink til the water gets hot then turn on your dioshwasher the temp should be where you need it to kill germs.

There isn't a temp control on water entering a household dishwasher. The water temp is controled by the actual water heater at the residence. Is is hooked to the hot water side of your nearest sink. Good Luck

First off, the temp adjustment can only be made by a trained service tech, since the dishwasher will need to be reprogrammed to allow for a lower temperature in the rinse cycle but still have the higher temp needed in the wash cycle. Also, since any change in the water temp settings will require a longer wash and rinse cycle to be programmed into the unit.

Of course, you could simply lower the water temp on the water heater that supplies water to this unit, but you'd have lower temp water elsewhere and likely get cited at the next heatlh department inspection on that issue.

Since this is a commercial dishwasher, you might want to reconsider lowering the temp, since health codes and standards for commercial establishments require a MINIMUM water temperarture of 185 degrees F (85 degrees C) for proper operation and to get all the crud off the dishes, etc.

Note, the manufacturer sets these units to the higher temp, 203 degree F (95 degree C) knowing that the water will cool down quickly once the wash cycle starts and the water contacts the dishes, etc. That is also why these units have a added heater element, to help keep the water at the correct temperature needed to both clean AND sanitize the dishes, according to established health standards.

If you really want to change the water temp settings, contact your Hobart service rep and explain the reason you want it lower and see what they say.

Hope you found this very helpful and best regards!

It should definitely be hooked into the hot water...and the temp of the hot water should be around 120degrees and not to exceed 150 degrees as dish damage can occur. There is a heat assist in the DW that helps to heat the water temp also.
I hope this helps....good luck and good day...thank you for rating my effort....The Fang.

sounds like it was hooked up to a coldwater line instead of a hot and your heating element in the dishwasher went bad from overload or your pc board went bad but i would check to see if it is hooked up to hot water line first..

the dishwasher will probably heat the water the rest of the way for you. depending on the specs and features.
hot water is not likely an issue with the dishwasher itself.
you could have cold water plumbed to the unit by mistake.
also, it could be that it is not fully pumping out, and the water going in is mixing with water in the sump.
try running it for few minutes and then pump it out. start a new cycle and see if you are getting hot water. if not, then at try to confirm that the unit is heating the water on its own. run it for about half a cycle and check the water temp again.
you do need hot water to clean in most units.
for certain this is a plumbing problem that is delivering cold water. and if its not heating, make sure that it should be per manufacturers specs, and call for repairs if its not heating the water.
good luck
