Possible Causes

Rinse aid empty, Faulty heating element, Blocked vent, Low final rinse temperature

Safety first: Allow the dishwasher to cool before touching internal metal parts.

Check rinse aid: Fill the rinse aid dispenser and set it to a medium or higher setting.
Use hot water: Ensure the household hot water is at least 120°F (49°C) and run the sink hot before starting.
Inspect vent: Check the vent on the door or side for obstructions and clean if necessary.
Test heating element: If dishes are cold at the end of the cycle, test the heating element for continuity and replace if open.
