When you run the hot water at the kitchen sink until it is hot and start a cycle on your dishwasher, is water hot when you open the door after it stops filling?
If no, the diswasher is connected to the cold water line, not the hot water line. The water temerature entering should be a minimum of 120 degrees but no hotter than 140 degrees.
If the water going in is hot, but it cools down after each filling then the heating element has failed and needs to be replaced. When the heating element fails, the dishes, especially the glassware will be foggy and still dirty.
Please reply with what you find. Good Luck!

A dishwasher whirlpool model ADP5446 . Eternal water but not running

It's possible that the sensors are not sensing the water temp.. It won't run if the water temp is not hot.. It has built in water heating so the element might not be heating up the water to the correct temp to opperate..

No water coming into washer

Behind the dishwasher there is normally a two little taps 1 for cold water and 1 for hot water, check that the taps are turned the right way and are letting the water into the mechine. post back what you find.

Dishes not getting clean,model#gu1500

Had the same problem. Here's what I did to resolve it: 1. Removed the lower spray arm and the mesh filter. I washed the filter and pulled out a few non-degradable particles, including husks and shells. 2. Switched from a liquid detergent to a powder. 3. Turned my hot water heater to the highest setting. 4. Let the water flow in the kitchen sink to ensure it warms up before I run the dishwasher.

Do not get a cold water wash from front load fridgidaire only hot

most diswashers only hook from the left side under the sink which is hot, some dishwashers on hot make the water extra hot with the bottom element for pots and pans, sounds like your dishwasher is working properly, you need hot water to sterilize. Rob

Dishwasher

Wash water isn't hot even after we run hot water in sink before turning on dish water. However rinse water is hot. It appears the heating element is not working on wash but is on rinse?
