The water going into my 20 year old Kenmore (model 1583) dishwasher is just barely warm to the touch, but the pipe supplying the water is hot. This model does not have a water heat boosting feature. FWIW, I also have the dip tube problem in my hot water heater (white gunk that floats in vinegar) and am wondering if there is a connection. (The water heater will be replaced in the next couple of weeks.) However, the same hot water supply goes to the kitchen faucet, and that seems to put out plenty of hot water.
What could the problem be? Thanks very much for suggestions and comments!
