Dishwasher stops mid-cycle and all lights go off, then may resume later or after door is opened/closed.

Safety first: Turn off power before inspecting electrical connections.

• Check junction box: Verify that all wire nuts in the Dacor junction box are tight and wires are not scorched.
• Inspect door latch switch: Wiggle the door gently during operation (with caution). If the unit stops, the latch switch may be intermittent and should be replaced.
• Examine control board: Remove the control panel and inspect the main board for hot spots or cracked solder joints. Replace if overheating is evident.
• Ensure proper ventilation: Confirm that the dishwasher has adequate clearance and is not overheating due to tight enclosure.
