Fisher & Paykel Cycle Interruption / Control or Sensor Issue

Dishwasher stops mid-cycle and appears to hang without completing.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Intermittent door switch, Overheating control board, Faulty temperature or water level sensor, Power supply fluctuations

Safety first: Disconnect power before inspection.

Check door switch: If the unit stops when the door is touched or moved, the door latch switch may be intermittent.
Observe pattern: Note if the stop occurs at the same point (e.g., during heat or drain). This can indicate a failing heater, drain pump, or sensor.
Ensure stable power: Avoid running the dishwasher on circuits shared with heavy appliances that may cause voltage drops.

Intermittent faults often require professional diagnosis of the control board and sensors.
