How to Fix a Dishwasher that Doesn't Dissolve Soap

Test the Heating Circuit

• Run a normal dishwashing cycle for 20 minutes.
• Open the door. A big plume of steam should come out of your dishwasher and the water should be hot to the touch.
  • If it’s hot, go to Step 2.
  • If not, the heating circuit is faulty. The heating circuit includes the controller and the hi-limit and the heating element. Go to Step 3 to see if the hi-limit fuse is blown.
