Terry, this formula sounds correct and if this is the problem, I don't see any way to ever get hot water into the DW in time to dissolve the detergent (and get clean dishes) - short of running a light cycle first, 50 minutes with no dry, or running the heavy soil cycle, almost 2 hours and wasting lots of water. If I use the heat water choice, it adds another hours to the cycle and no idea how much energy to heat the water. So much for paying extra for an energy saving device :) GE recommends and I prefer to use, the packets. No big bottle of liquid to store, no drips, no measuring.
Water and Air Temps are Proportional, e.g. 1-gallon 100'f water mixed with 1-gal 50'f water will give =75-deg water;
(another) I-gal. @140-deg + 1/2-gal @40-deg= 106-deg (if my math is right)
Note the 40-deg= 33% of 1-1/2-gal total volume (so math is (66%x 140-deg)+(33%x40-deg) = 92.4+ 13.2= 105.6-degrees
The winter changes, I believe, are why DW have heaters to reheat the water if too cold, before starting cycle. (recalling my old Maytag), you can turn it OFF w/ control switch/ button in summer, or if using soap that works w/ cold
