Dishwasher stops mid-cycle without draining or advancing; lights may remain on but no activity.

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing internal components.

• 1. Note when it stops: Observe whether it stops during wash, rinse, or drain to narrow down the cause.
• 2. Check door latch: Ensure the door is firmly latched and the latch is not loose. Replace if it feels sloppy.
• 3. Power reset: Turn off the breaker for 10 minutes to reset the control, then run a test cycle.
• 4. Monitor pump operation: If the unit stops when the pump should run and you hear humming or nothing at all, the pump may be failing and causing the control to abort.

Persistent stalling often requires professional diagnosis of the control board and motors.
