Dishwasher problem

posted by skagit17 on Dec 31, 2007

Our Asko 1353 dishwasher stops halfway through its's wash cycle. I suspected the thermostat, as it seemed loose in it's holder and not tight against the tub. After I tightened the holder the problem is still the same. Also, the on/off switch (pressure switch?) does not stay in the on position and when I looked it over I found one of the crimp on terminals had melted. Short circuit? Too much resistance from bad thermostat? How do I check the thermostat before I order a new one?
Thanks, RG

I have the same problem

i think your switch may just be bad,but to check the t-stat remove both wires and use a multimeter,set the meter to ohms and connect the two leads to the terminals on the t-stat.with the t-stat to off you should read an (ol) open condition,when you turn the dial on the t-stat you should get a reading of continuity.
