The heating element is used The heating element is used for drying and for water heating.
Older electro-mechanical control models typically had 1 thermostat setting (140 / 145 / 150 degrees F were some of the most common). The cycle timer would pause and the heating element would be energized until the thermostat registered the temperature setpoint.
On newer electronic machines, the temperature setpoint is cycle dependent. I have not looked at Whirlpool literature as of late, but assuming it is programmed like its sister Kitchenaid dishwasher that I have , the added heat temperature setpoint is cycle dependent. For example, the hottest water temeprature by default is set automatically when the 1 hour was is selected (the unit will not allow you to select the added heat option). This temperature setpoint is 140 or 145 F. The normal wash with out the heat option is 120 F and with heat is 130 F. Please forgive me if I am a few degrees off on my settings - I am typing this at work and doing it from memory as opposed to having my literature in front of me. | ||

high-temp wash My Whirlpool Gold dishwasher will change the amount of time when this option is selected. For example, the normal cycle with high-temp wash will start draining at 75 minutes. Without it, it will say 92 minutes if I am not mistaken. | ||
