Dishwasher stops mid-cycle and shuts off or resets without completing.

Safety: Turn off power before inspecting electrical connections.

• Check door latch: Ensure the door is not being jostled during operation and that the latch is secure. Replace if intermittent.
• Inspect junction box: Verify all wire connections in the dishwasher junction box are tight and not overheating (discolored insulation).
• Ventilation: Ensure the kick plate vents are not blocked; overheating can cause thermal protection to trip.
• Component check: If the unit stops during heavy wash or heat, a failing motor or heater may be overloading the circuit. A technician should measure current draw and replace the offending component.

Warning: Repeated tripping of breakers or thermal devices indicates a serious issue; discontinue use until diagnosed.
