The invention belongs to the technical field of tableware washing control and provides a heating washing control method and device for a dish washing machine. The dish washing machine is timed in real time in the heating washing process, real-time water temperature is acquired, when the value of the real-time water temperature is lower than a preset water temperature value and current timed time is longer than preset heating time, whether the difference value between the value of the real-time water temperature and an initial water temperature value is larger than a temperature difference reference value or not is judged, if not, it shows that a heating device and/or a temperature detection module are/is abnormal, the heating device of the dish washing machine is then controlled to stop working, the dish washing machine executes washing compensation operation and is then controlled to execute the following washing process, and a heating and temperature detection abnormality prompt is given out when the washing process is finished, so that when the heating device and/or the temperature detection module are/is abnormal, the dish washing machine is controlled to wash tableware continuously, and the abnormality prompt is sent to a user when the washing process is finished.
