Asko Dishwasher overheating
If your Asko dishwasher is overheating, the most likely cause is a shorted heating element or heating element assembly that keeps raising the water temperature past normal operating range. After that, check the high-limit thermostat, make sure the thermostat is mounted firmly against the tub in its support bracket, and test the thermostat itself if the other parts check out. In some cases, the dishwasher overheating problem is not a failed part at all, but incoming water that is hotter than the recommended 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Since a dishwasher gets too hot when the heating circuit cannot regulate temperature correctly, a multimeter test for a short or for continuity can help narrow it down fast. If your Asko dishwasher is overheating or showing signs of a dishwasher heating element shorted condition, RepairClinic.com has the heating element, heating element assembly, high-limit thermostat, and thermostat parts that fit your machine. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part for your specific Asko dishwasher.

03 - Asko Dishwasher High Limit Thermostat
The high-limit thermostat monitors the dishwasher internal temperature and shuts off the heating element if the dishwasher overheats. If the high-limit thermostat is malfunctioning, it may shut off the voltage to the heating element circuit. However, this is rarely the case. Before replacing the high limit thermostat check all the more commonly defective parts. If you have determined that all of the other components are working properly, test the thermostat by using a multimeter to test it for continuity.
Highly Likely
04 - Thermostat out of position
The thermostat should be firmly pressed against the tub. If the thermostat is loose or is not in the support bracket correctly, it will not sense the water and air temperature properly, and can cause the dishwasher to overheat.

05 - Asko Dishwasher Thermostat
The thermostat monitors the dishwasher internal temperature and shuts off the heating element if the dishwasher overheats. If the thermostat is malfunctioning, it may shut off the voltage to the heating element circuit. However, this is rarely the case. Before replacing the thermostat check all the more commonly defective parts. If you have determined that all of the other components are working properly, test the thermostat by using a multimeter to check it for continuity.
Highly Likely
06 - Water supply temperature too hot
The water supply temperature may be too hot. The recommended water supply temperature for a dishwasher to clean properly is 120 degrees Fahrenheit (49 degrees Celsius). If your hot water temperature is higher, it should be turned lower for safety reasons.
