Hi Brent there is a thermostat that stops the timer from advancing till the water in the sump reaches 180 degrees. If the timer is only pausing briefly and the water is not 180 in the sump either the thermostat is bad or in some cases some one may have bypassed it. It should be easy to fix, let me know if you need a thermostat, It could also be a bad timer, the way to check would be to see if the sani-heat thermostat is closed when it is less than 180 degrees. |

The thermostat is mounted on the outside of the sump, you may have to turn the DW on its side to find it. If the machine is over filling you need a new fill valve as Stevet pointed out the valve regulates the water flow. You could also time the fill periods and check them against the cycle chart inside the main door, in case the timer is running too slowly [ very unlikely ]. |
