This mostly depends on the kind of dish washing machine you own and what you consider a 'computer'.
If its an older machine, its quite possible that the machine 'logical' or controlling device is mechanical working off of timers, springs etc. It could be argued this does 'compute' (the first computer ever made by Babbage was mechanical) however in the modern sense (or in my opinion), a computer is a device that contains some sort of centralized processing unit (CPU) that does the complicated math/'thinking' for other functional devices that actually perform tasks. When a device can be programmed to perform/control multiple tasks, you're in the realm of computer.
Today, many appliances from your fridge to your dishwasher do have a computer of some sort in them. Lots of appliances actually run stripped down versions of Linux, a popular open source operating system like Windows on your own computer. So if your dishwasher is relatively new, theres a very good chance it has, or essentially is a computer with an aquatic device attached to it that it controls.
Sorry if this means you lost a bet.

In computer technology what does an embedded system do?
An embedded system can be thought of as a small component in a larger electrical framework. In a computer, for example, each individual component, such as the motherboard, functions as an embedded system within the computer.
What is bio digital technology?
computer embedded in a person body
Is the single chip in digital thermometer is example of embedded computer?
yes
What are the disadvantages of an embedded computer?
Embedded computers are devices that perform a specific function in a higher assembly. The limitations of any particular embedded computer are the specifications for which it was designed. I once designed, fabricated, and coded a microprocessor based add-on for an internal navigation system. Within the INS was a single pin that was modulated with a series of several hundred bits in a ring format. All the µprocessor had to do was find the frame start pattern and demodulate the data into a memory array, then broadcast selected information out of a UART (COMM port interface). This is an example of an embedded computer. It had a specific function that it performed continuously. Some other examples of embedded computers are the Video, Sound, NIC, and/or Modem cards you may find in the backplane of your PC. Most of these functions are performed in (embedded into) the Chipset of the PC, but the design of the motherboard allows you to turn off any of these features if you want to upgrade to a better board.
What is the purpose of an embedded device?
Embedded system is a combination of software and hardware system ,in which s/w drives the hardware. The main objective :- (1)less power consumption (2) memory constraint (3) less area requirement
Which computer was developed first an embedded computer or desktop computer?
The Apollo Guidance Computer, which took us to the moon was an embedded computer long before any desktop computer existed. There were missile guidance computers before that (e.g. Bomark & Minuteman I) that were embedded.
What computer are specially designed computer chips that reside inside other devices?
they are micro chips too but very low cost and low performance one's...why will someone use i7 series processor in a thermostat ?

Yes an embedded system by definition is a combination of hardware and software,here both are combined together for a specific task .
What is an Embedded Processor?
Embedded processor is a part of the computer that follows instructions and carries out action.It is like the "brain" of a computer.
