Very Long Run-time – Over 1.5 Hrs

We have an on-demand water heater. We run the faucet until the water is hot before we turn on the dishwasher. Regardless, even in the light load setting it runs for almost two hours, and occasionally it seem to get “stuck” and we turn it off after three hours. Please advise. Thank you.
