Dishwasher stops mid-cycle and will not resume until power is cycled.

Safety: Turn off power before accessing internal components.

Steps:

• 1. Note when it stops: Observe if it stops during wash, drain, or heat to narrow the suspect component.
• 2. Inspect control board: Look for signs of overheating or discoloration.
• 3. Check pumps: Feel (carefully, with power off) if pumps are excessively hot. Replace if overheating or noisy.
• 4. Inspect door latch and wiring: Ensure the latch is secure and wiring harnesses are firmly connected.

Persistent mid-cycle shutdowns often require professional diagnosis of the control and motor circuits.
