    Thanks for all the great advises Dave.

    I opened the control box, and the relay looks burnt. See attached. Could the relay be the cause of all the symptoms above? (Both waterting to hot and water not heating at all)

    I mean, is there any point in replacing the relay. Or will I probably be back to the point where the water just gets til hot?

    Its difficult to get a new dishwasher to the location, so if its possible to fix that is preferable. But I guess I have to give up at some point as well and just buy a new one.

    Thanks for Therese tip. Wiring checked out ok.
    I replaced the temperature sensor, but it did not help.

    As this is in our cabin I have not been able to troubleshoot for some time.

    New symptom is that the dishwasher does not heat. And it no longer gives an alarm. But since the water does not heat, it does not clean.

    The element checks out ok, but the voltage on the pins reads 50V at max during a washing cycle. This is with the heating element disconnected. Any tips on what to check next? What needs to be “ok” to give the heating element power but wont hive an alarm?

    Heater element reads 26? , which should equal to 2000W as rated.

    Hi.

    I have disconnected the sensor and tested it with known temperatures above and the resistance values on terminal 3 and 4 seems to match the above.

    Do you have any more tips for me regarding things to check?

    Thanks again Dave.

    I cannot hear it heating, but the water gets (very) hot at least. When the dishwasher stops at the 6 beep signal and I open the door there is a lot of hot steam coming out of the machine. I guess this normaly happens like 30-60 minutes into the washing cycle.

    Regarding the sound, at sometime after the 2nd cleaning cycle and before drain-pump starts there is no motor running. At that point you can hear sound from the bottom of the dishwasher, and the sounds are very similar to water boiling.

    I plan to order spare parts this evening and then try to replace.

    Would you recommend that I start with temperature sensor or the heater element?

    Ok.

    Thank you for the quick reply!

    The water is heating.

    Even to the point that I can hear something i suspect to be the water boiling inside the machine. This boiling like sound even comes at the low temperature programs, where temperature should only be 45°C.

    When the alarm goes off there is freakishly hot steam coming out of the machine!

    So maybe I should try to replace the temperature sensor then?

    If anyone has any other insights or things I should check, suggestions are very welcome.
