Bosch integrated dishwasher

Hi,

I was hoping someone would be able to help me. We’ve been living in our house for almost a year and until now had no problems with the existing Bosch integrated dishwasher.

However since Christmas it’s been fusing and we’ve had to keep turning the main panel on the fuse back off and on again.

It smelt slightly of burning. We did find a few scraps of food so thought it may be blocked however we’ve had a look and it doesn’t appear to be.

I’ve read a few forums and people say it could be the heating element? It is a certain point in the cycle when it just cuts off.

However I’ve no idea what model we’ve got, it’s white at the sides and silver. The top shelf height can be adjusted and the bottom one can roll out. Here’s a photo: http://i41.tinypic.com/35irner.jpg

How would we check and fix this?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thank you
