Gendos is on track with his question. I have the same dishwasher and it doesn't get enough hot water to clean the dishes and runs for hours because the heating element wasn't designed to heat water, just maintain it. The only solution we have found is to run the hot water from the kitchen faucet before we start the dishwasher. The only long term solution is to install a circulation pump on your hot water line, or find a dishwasher that pre-heats the water.

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

SOURCE: can i connect a dishwasher to the hot water pipe??
In my opinion you always connect to the hot water unless there's some compelling reason not to like your dishwasher's manual says to connect to cold. Your dishwasher will heat up whatever water you have connected it to, but since you have a tank of preheated water already sitting in your water heater you should use that.
The "resin in the water softener" example, I think, makes no sense since your dishwasher will heat up the water to something like 160 degrees Fahrenheit no matter if the input is cold or hot...

All dishwashers use hot water supply.
