Can you not just adjust the thermometer on your water heater? Or buy a dishwasher that takes a cold feed. 

i can, but it's already at 140ish and from what i've heard that should be plenty.  as it is you can just about burn yourself in the shower...it's just the kitchen that sucks.  i called the home warranty company and they said they could come take a look, but if it's just "plumbed weird" then there's nothing they can do about it, and yet another $60 service fee for nothing.  i just don't accept that i get super hot water in the bathroom at the opposite end of the unit from the water heater, but the kitchen is just basically "warm" at best... and the kitchen is about 15 feet from the water heater...wtf?

Oh the joys of home ownership... 

check the anode for corrosion. also while the tank is drained check for sediment in the bottom. clean it up.
