Ah thanks, I was beginning to question everything I thought I knew about how my dishwasher works.
If you live in the US. Dishwashers works very differently in Europe for example.

Reliably having 3 phase 230 V (thus 400 V delta between two phases) makes a big difference from single phase 120 V. Usually rated at 16 A too, available from each phase pair.
Almost 10 kW available at the peak (although almost nothing made for regular homes use it that much, aside from electric cars).

As compared to a US outlet typically limited to 20 A at 120 V in one phase, giving you 2,4 kW (a quarter) or 15 A at 1,8 kW.

Indeed. Both apartments I’ve lived in (in Europe) had the dishwasher hooked up to the cold water feed, so preheating the water would absolutely do nothing at all.
