Dishwasher Not Heating Water or Drying Properly?

Is your dishwasher not heating water or leaving your dishes wet after a full cycle? These issues are typically linked to a faulty heater element or related components, and they can greatly affect your dishwasher’s cleaning and drying performance. Whether you own a Bosch, Beko, AEG, Zanussi, or another brand, heating problems should be addressed promptly.


Why Is My Dishwasher Not Heating Water?

🔧 Faulty Heating Element

The heating element warms the water during the wash and rinse cycles and also aids in drying. If it fails, water stays cold and dishes remain damp. A replacement is often required to restore full function.

🧠 Broken Thermostat or Sensor

Your dishwasher relies on a temperature sensor to regulate heating. If the sensor or thermostat malfunctions, the system may not recognise the need to heat the water, resulting in poor cleaning.

⚡ Faulty Control Board or Wiring

In some cases, power may not reach the heating element due to a damaged control board, burnt-out relay, or wiring issue.


Signs Your Dishwasher Isn’t Heating

  • Dishes feel cold and wet after the cycle

  • Greasy residue left behind

  • No steam when you open the door

  • Longer cycles with no improvement in results

Always refer to your manufacturer’s official dishcare guide:
