i fixed it by turning up my water heater alittle


I'll look into that, but I am fairly sure the water heater is set to
the normal setting and is working correctly. Should it be set to high?


This is a rental unit, right? �Be careful setting it up as there is a code
for maximum temperature. �Most DW have a booster that will heat the water to
the proper temperature.

That glass sis nasty looking. �I'd check the temperature, the water
hardness, and I'd also check to see that the unit is operating properly.
The spray arms may be clogged or not spinning, thus the residue on the
dishes. � Could be the pump is on the way out.


looking at photo its a low end unit, at 6.2 amps it probably wasnt
designed to heat water......

might be better to just replace the unit.
