Could the cooler temp cause a built up of 'gunk'?

Too cold of water would likely prevent detergent from dissolving properly but I very much doubt that would affect any part of the fill or drain functions, just cleaning performance.

Do you suppose that when I manipulated the drain hose that I might have dislodged some 'gunk'?
|
Maybe but as I stated, I very much doubt any
gunk would affect any part of the fill and drain functions... unless it was so large it totally blocked off the drain hose in which case the dishwasher wouldn't likely drain
at all.

the water is [filling for] about 45 seconds

It always helps (
if not being absolutely necessary) to provide accurate information when requesting assistance.

I had to cut the drain hose and pull it through the floor.

Directly down through the floor without first routing it up to the underside of the counter top??

Could the shorter drain hose cause the instant drainage?

Improper installation of the drain hose could certainly cause premature draining (see the following link), not necessarily its length.

My washer doesn't seem to be able to hold water. What's the problem?
BTW. It probably would have been a good idea to mention the previous service/alterations in your first message since at least some of your problem now appears to have started immediately after that.
