My Dishlex Global 500 is doing the same, circulation pump stops and starts and runs very hot.
I guess the thermal cutoff within the motor senses the hotness and turns off power to the motor, the motor cools a bit then continues in this cyclic mode.
It does continue thru to the end of wash but has only had about half the motor on so not really clean!!
