Based on your description and provided the dishwasher is indeed 1) an Asko D1716 and 2) filling with water, draining, heating, but not circulating, It sounds like a busted wash impeller within the main motor/circulation pump, unfortunately.
First though, do you hear a quiet sound of a motor starting once the unit has completed filling with water ? And be sure the unit is actually filling with water, this image below indicates the normal water level to look for....
The pump obviously it will be super quiet if the wash impeller is broke as I suspect it may be...almost like a fountain, since the Asko are very quiet under normal conditions. You will have to either get right down with your ear to the bottom or run it with the door open by activating the door switch with a screw-driver and look for visual/audible clues.
If so that is a tell tale of no wash action yet the motor runs, hence broken impeller. If you don't hear anything it may be a wire come off the main motor/circulation pump...but not likely.
This unfortunately is common with Asko built dishwasher`s and it is a case of being a victim of their own design.
What happens typically is the ball-bearings from the upper rack holders ( which are plastic, hence fatigues due to heat and fall apart ) come out making their way into the sump, hence breaking the wash impeller from the motor.
Let me know what you find and I'll try and help you move forward from there. If you need direction to remove the circulation motor and pump I can do that, but it is a pretty involved repair and requires pulling the unit from the cabinet...you may opt to call in a pro.
This pretty much sounds like the same problem I am having with the same model ASKO D1716.......I am handy.....but generally need directions. Any help would be appreciated!

I'm presently away from home ,so I will provide you with what I have but otherwise will have to get back to you in a couple of days as I will be without internet temporarily.
For starters, you can investigate with the info I provided above and let me know what you find, i.e. correct water inlet flow and level.
If the wash impeller is broke or you suspect it may be, the only way to be certain the impeller is the issue ( and short of the impeller & sump being caked full of soap & debris preventing wash pressure/action ) is by way of actually visually inspecting it which requires either clever work with light & mirrors and a good eye looking through the sump...or ultimately, removing the assembly from the machine.
I can post a pretty thorough guide on how to remove the assembly if you'd like to attempt it. Let me know and we'll go from here. I should also ask to clarify the problem you're experiencing and confirm you've checked and cleaned all the filters and insured the sump is clear of debris.
