  • Its not so much about that, as it is about the fact that they almost always do an initial “clean-off-the-dirtiest-bits” cycle for around 10 minutes which pulls in (mostly) cold water if your line is not purged like the OP describes. And they don’t use the heating element for this initial cycle.

    After the first 10 minutes they flush out the super dirty water with the dirtiest food bits and sauce and whatnot, fill in brand new water, and then run for the duration of the washing cycle (1hr plus) along with the heating element.

    So flushing the cold water out of your kitchen water lines AND adding pre-wash detergent (such as some extra powder right in the door, outside of the main closable detergent compartment) helps a ton with this initial 10ish minute cycle.
