The main wash varies on our Kenmore 665.1389 from 45 to over 55 minutes with a 145 degree F wash temperature. I always use the high-temp option with detergent in the main wash cup only without purging the hot water line since there's no detergent in the pre-wash. If I need to hand-wash something in the sink, I wait until the dishwasher has filled so the water will be hot at the faucet (California drought, you know). This is the best balance between conserving water and getting the dishes clean.
