After the door is raised, the bottom spin arm rotates and sprays hot water on you.
On normal cycle after the cycle ends, when the pump shuts off, and the attendant lifts the door, the bottom rotating spray arm will start to rotate again and has sprayed hot water on an attendant burning her arm.
1)Temperature is more than 90-100degree means the steam will comes from the rinse arm automatically (as u indicated thermostat chances is there)
2)check the heater contactor is getting switched off interminently(if it is not getting off problem on thermostat)

Is there water in it ? Frgidaire as all end with the drain pump running about 5 min give or take. If the pump is continuing to run and not stopping at the end of the cycle , could be a timer or control issue. Most all functions are timed for a specific amount of time.
It could be a motor or a pump issue. The dishwasher has a motor that attached to a pump which forces the water up into the sprayer arms and during the drain cycle, it pushes the water out of the dishwasher. The motor (and pump) located beneath the dishwasher. Check if motor spins. In case it spins, the problem is with the pump ,in case it doesn't spin it could be a motor problem or a motor and pump problem.
First of all: filter plate clean? Clean any locked hole. 1) Can you remove the upper spray-arm and verify if holes inside are locked by any residus. Clean the holes , and check if pure water come out when you fill the center hole with some water. 2) Switch on the dishwasher , coldest wash cycle dish-washer empty and without the upper spraying arm. Once you hear water streaming in, open the door and look if a little water fountain comes out from the center hole where the upper spraying arm was fixed. If not, this canalisation is blocked and should be cleaned. Try to continue the wash cycle, often the water pressure will clean itself this canal. Check also lower spray arm: it should be rotating a while and ejecting water thru its holes. If not, verify this canalisation as well.
3) Put the spraying arm again on its place, verify also the sealing else water pressure is going down and spraying will not turn and spray water.
4) Again, continu a wash cycle, open the door and look; upper arm should be rotating and some rays trown out.
Hopefully, this helps .
If not, pump pressure may be low; have a repair verify, can be that only brushes in the motor must be replaced, can be the pump worn out and to be replaced at all.
The problem can be with not enough water to get the arm to spin. To test this
just add a pan of water to the wash cycle and see if the arm spins. If
it does then the problem may be with the water intake line. There is a
screen at the connection where the intake line enters the dishwasher.
So turn the supply valve off and disconnect the intake line and remove
particles that may be traped in the screen. The cause of the particles
is from the hot water tank that tend to accumulate a bit of corrosion
on the bottom of tank. To remedy this just open the valve at the bottom
of the hot water tank and drain it in a pan until the water is clear.
Ensure
the Frigidaire dishwashing machine is fully connected to a power
supply. Shut the dishwasher door firmly and select a wash cycle. Press
"Start" to begin. Check that the "delay start" option was not selected.
2
Verify
that dishwashing detergent is placed in the dispenser and choose a
longer washing cycle for heavily soiled items. Do not overload the
dishwasher, as this may prevent proper cleaning.
3
Check
the household water pressure, which should be between 20 and 120 PSI
(pounds per square inch). A water pressure gauge can be obtained at
most home repair stores or hardware stores.
4
Turn
on the hot water at the sink closest to the dishwasher prior to
starting the dishwasher to raise the water temperature inside the
dishwasher. Check the hot water temperature, which should be at least
120 degrees Fahrenheit for proper cleaning.
5
Check
the spray arms in the dishwasher and move dishes that may be blocking
the water spray or preventing the spray arms from rotating properly.

Check spray arms again to see if the very end jet is blocked - or if the spray arm has split? the end jet is angled and that's what turns the spray arm. If you can't clear the blockage, you may need new spray arms. Or try putting the spray arms into a known position, and run the machine - see if they have moved.
The pump may be running, but are you sure it's pumping? sometimes bits of broken glass or pot get into the pump chamber and strip the rotor vanes off. Try setting the machine to wash, make sure you can hear the pump run, then quickly open the dishwasher door to check the flow. If you get a face full of hot soapy water then everything is ok!
Remember that a dishwasher isn't a garbage disposal unit - and remove all food scraps from plates before putting them in the machine. That's what often blocks spray arm jets.
If the washer is not used regularly the shaft can stick to the seals and prevent the motor from spinning. This happens quite regularly for me if I don't use the washer often. You can just take off the bottom panel - after shutting off power to the dishwasher - and access the motor. you should see some fins and then just try to spin the motor by hand. It usually takes about 90 degrees of rotation before the motor breaks free from the seal. You'll have to fight through the spring-like resistance created by the seal-shaft adhesion. After it breaks free the motor spins freely and you should be all set to go. I haven't found a more permanent fix for this other than running the dishwasher more regularly.

Good luck
open door while working and check water is coming out of the jets in the spray arms. if so, remove spray arms and clean. fault may be caused by debris in the end jets which being at an angle are used to turn the arms by the water spraying out.
this is not related to water temp. only way to check this is to open up at the end of heat cycle and see how hot water is
1.does motor run? no. replace motor.
2.open door and leave the bottom rack inside dw.spin the spray arm underneath the bottom rack by hand. it should spin freely without binding. if it doesnt spin freely take out the bottom rack and try again. if it does spin freely then your bottom rack is laying on your sprayarm preventing it from rotating.
3.you could also not be getting enough water into your dw.
