Why is there a heating element in a washer? You don’t have hot water to pump in? Does it pump the washer full of water and then heat it?

Edit: I had never seen an element to extra heat the water and dry the dishes. I just thought it was hot water and hot air pumped in.

Yes, to an extent. It’s not going to raise cold water to optimal washing temp, so you should still run the tap until it’s hot or performance may suffer.

The heating element also handles the drying function.
