How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before accessing panels.
- Note pattern: Observe if the stop occurs at the same point in the cycle (e.g., after wash, before rinse). This can indicate a specific sensor or heater issue.
- Check door latch: Ensure the door is not flexing or unlatching slightly during operation.
- Reset appliance: Power off for 10–15 minutes, then restart a short program.
If interruptions continue, a technician should test the door switch, pressure sensor, and main control board.
