Default Dishwasher heating element.

You don't really need a dishwasher. You'll save a lot more energy
hand-washing the dishes. Or just let the dog lick the plates.

But some of us like the convenience and features. For example, the
sanitary-dry feature that is now popular -- which requires the heating
circuit to be functional. For people that keep kosher or halal, it is
an essential feature.

switch labelled "hot dry" or "energy saver" which simply turns the heating
element off. You now have a permanent "energy saver" dishwasher. Just
open the door and pull out the racks to let the dishes air-dry. And save
some electricity to boot.
