3 year old bosch dishwasher, always hot inside. Wave of heat exits when you open it even when it has not run in a day or two. why does this thing stay so hot inside?

SHEM78W52N/10 doesn't pull up as good, SHEM78W52N/01 does pull up as good. Please recheck your model number.

Its either the heating element is shorting to ground or your getting 120 volts to the heating element at all times.

Its best to have Bosch to come out at 1-800-944-2904. They is a safety issue and Bosch should be aware of this. Its best to disconnect power to the dishwasher until Bosch fixes it.
