There is a temperature sensing item in the dishwasher control panel that is probably sensing low water temperature.
Try increasing the water temperature and see if that fixes it. Temperature needs to be at least 120 degrees.
Also, check for clogged holes in the lower spray arm.

Try setting the hot water temperature to 130 degrees. Also, time the drain time and post results, should be a bit less than 40 seconds with a full load of tub water just under the heater.
