Possible Causes

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before accessing the base or pump.

Ensure ventilation: Check that the dishwasher has adequate space around it and that ventilation openings are not blocked.
Clean filters and sump: Remove any debris that could cause the pump to work harder and overheat.
Inspect circulation pump: Access the pump and check for signs of overheating or restricted movement. Replace if the motor frequently overheats.
