    Jenn Air Dishwasher is getting too hot and melting items

    Model Number: W10418342
    Brand: Jenn-Air
    Age: 6-10 years

    Dishwasher is about 7 years old and has always worked flawlessly. About 2 days ago it began getting far too hot and melting plastic items in both the bottom and top racks. These are items we have washed countless times with no issues. It otherwise seems to function just fine.

    I am unable to tell if the issue is during the wash cycle or the drying cycle.

    Initial research indicates that it is probably NOT the high limit thermostat, as if that item malfunctioned the heating element may not turn on at all. Possible culprit is the control board?

    Any advice on troubleshooting or repair procedure would be appreciated!

    I am no professional but in my GE I need to place plastics on my top shelf so they don't melt. Have you tried that?
