Does this dishwasher heat the wash water? null

Hello DK, While the actual water heater is responsible for heating water before it enters the dishwasher, the heating element is a supplemental tool that serves several different purposes. Most modern-day dishwashers operate at a temperature between 130 to 170 degrees Fahrenheit. Water entering the dishwasher has an average temperature of 120 degrees Fahrenheit, which may or may not properly sanitize the dishes. The heating element, however, warms the water up by an additional 10-15 degrees; thus, effectively killing harmful bacteria and germs. In addition to killing bacteria, the dishwasher’s heating element serves a second purpose: to encourage faster and more efficient drying times.

Yes it does. Do your research. This is the only brand that has a garbage disposal built in! You will never get cleaner dishes from any other machine!! Also has the heated sanitize mode. Best dishwasher made bar none!!!!
