Heating relay fault

A stuck-closed relay is a fire hazard. If the dishwasher is overheating, disconnect power immediately and do not use until repaired.
Test the heater relay on the ELP board for proper switching
Measure heater element resistance (should be 10-30 ohms)
Check for burnt traces on the control board near the relay
Inspect wiring from board to heater for damage or melting
Replace ELP control board if relay is welded shut or open
Pro Diagnostic Tip
A relay stuck closed causes continuous heating — check for this urgently. A relay stuck open means no heating. Miele ELP boards are model-specific; verify the exact part number from the rating plate.
