Hot water line. If you did hook it up to your cold water line make sure your dishwasher is set to heat the water (some models have a selectable setting for this.)

Where is ice maker water valve?
It is where the supply line is attached to a water line. May be under the kitchen sink or in the basement under the refrigerator in the closest supply line. Should be a hot water line. Hot water because most of the minerals stay in the water heater and the water in the supply line will be cold from sitting. Someone may have put a shutoff at the floor behind the refrigerator, but I doubt it.
How do you increase water temperature for a dishwasher?
Usually the dishwasher is located near a sink. If you run the hot water at the sink, that will flush the cold water from the hot water line, so the dishwasher will end up getting more hot water during its fill, and allowing the water to reach higher temperatures. Use the "Heated Wash" option to ensure maximum temperature increase. Dishwasher detergent works best around 145 degrees, so the hotter the water going in, the better it will clean.
