The dishwasher does not heat water
A dishwasher is a great helper for women in the kitchen. By the principle of action, such an aggregate resembles a washing machine. The device is connected to a cold water supply system, and its heating is carried out using a heating element. After the water is heated to the desired temperature, the set mode starts. If you notice that the dishwasher does not heat the water, this is a sign of damage. Find out the cause of the problem and fix it immediately. Sometimes you can’t do without the help of a master, but you can deal with some breakdowns yourself.

If the water does not heat up, there can be no question of high-quality washing of dishes. In some models, the sensor does not work, which means that the program does not start.
Important! Careful attitude to technology, proper care and observance of the operating instructions will help extend the life of your dishwasher. On our portal we have prepared useful reviews on this topic:
The most common malfunctions when a Bosch or other brand dishwasher does not heat water are:
- Damage to the heating element.
- Incorrect temperature control by thermostat.
- Incorrect system of various elements of the control system.
Important! The main malfunctions of dishwashers and algorithms for their elimination can be found in a separate article Bosch Dishwasher Error Codes.

Methods for diagnosing a dishwasher
Despite the fact that the methods of troubleshooting with household appliances have been worked out in detail for a long time, in each individual case it is necessary to carry out diagnostics and find the true cause using the “exclusion method”.
Important! All problems associated with the failure of various parts can only be determined by a specialist.
The following reasons should also be excluded:
- Incorrect equipment connection.
- Clogged filter or water pipe. In this case, water is simply not supplied to the unit.
- Incorrect selection of settings or operating mode of the device.
- Failure of the pressure indicator.
Important! During operation of the unit, water circulation occurs inside it. This process is monitored by a pressure indicator. With its malfunction, the water simply does not have time to warm up to the temperature provided for by the specified mode.
How to fix the problem
So what to do if an Electrolux or other brand dishwasher does not heat water? Proceed in this order:
- Check that the equipment is connected correctly and the operating mode selected.
- See if there is water entering the tank. If the dishwasher functions without interruptions, there is a constant circulation of water between the additional tank and the main tank. Stopping water circulation is a sign of a malfunction in the pressure sensor or filters.
Important! Be sure to check if the trash filter is clogged. If necessary, clean it from dirt.
- Find out if the water in the tank is stagnating.If the water circulates normally and does not stagnate in the tank, but heating still does not occur, then most likely we are talking about a rather serious malfunction: a breakdown in the temperature sensor or control module. There is one way to solve the problem: replace a failed part.
- Check if the appliance switches on in normal washing mode.

Call a specialist and describe all the “symptoms”. The wizard will diagnose and, if necessary, tell you which part you need to purchase for replacement. Or maybe the whole thing will be limited to cleaning the filter, and the dishwasher will work again, like a new one.
