The water temp is only getting up to 110 when it should be 140, then 155 at rinse time. It's a 13 year old Bosch and the customer service person suggested it might be the Circulation Pump (00239144). She said there is no heating element in a Bosch. The part costs between $180 and $220.

Does that part sound like the problem?
Should I just get a new dishwasher?
If I should get a new one, which are the three most reliable brands?
Thanks.

spending 200$ is not worth possibly repairing a 13 year old dishwasher. Get a new one and get laid by wife.

Leave them in there long enough and they will dry.

Have you found out why your wife is so pissed off that she isn't doing her chores?

Should be the end of that question but may need pics of wife to confirm the suggestion.

She's good looking. I said in another thread that it appears I've outkicked my coverage. She'd kick my arse if I posted any.

Sounds pretty beta. Probably should ask wife for permission to buy dishwasher

Apparently the water gets hot enough during the rinse cycle that combined with the stainless steel interior, the water evaporates away from the dishes.

Is it still venting correctly. I.e. water steams but has no where to go so it just condenses back on the dishes?

You know for certain it's not getting to temp?

Yeah I measured with a thermometer. Water maxes at 110 degrees.
