Kenmore Elite not heating water but drying dishes

Our dishwasher does not appear to be heating the water while it is washing however it will heat up during the drying cycle. I bought a heating element and when it arrived I wrangled the dishwasher from under the counter top and installed it but it did not solve the problem. I ordered the high limit thermostat and then decided to check the thermostat on the washer since I did not stuff her back in under the counter. The ohms test shows continuity so I ordered that part unnecessarily. I’m at a loss as to what to check next, can someone advise me? Thanks
