At the beginning of the Sani cycle, it turns on both heaters in the sump and it gets quite hot. Be sure the machine is getting enough water , the heating element should be completely covered with water.
In general is the machine doing a great job washing really dirty dishes. This is another way to tell whether the machine is working properly and getting enough water. John L | ||

The sani heat points get the water up to 150F before advancing the timer to the wash and rinse cycles. Using the Heavy Wash cycle will fill, briefly wash, drain, and refill to heat the water. In my situation, it cuts heating times in half.
Make sure the machine is filling correctly as John mentions. The water level should be slightly above the filter screen mesh. | ||

No more problem Thank you two for the responses. I have checked the water level during cycles. It is over the heat elements and near the mesh filter. And the mysterious hot smell has resolved. | ||
