Default dishwasher water doesn't get hot

The water is not getting hot.

I opened the dishwasher during operation and found that the heating
element was not hot and was not submerged.

Shouldn't the heating element be under water during operation?


Usually, yes.

Check the water float sensor. It sometimes gets clogged with crud such that
it doesn't move freely.

Pull out the float and remove the caked-on nastiness.
