Reasons for a Dishwasher Stopping Mid Cycle

A dishwasher that stops mid-cycle can be a frustrating and inconvenient problem. Here are some common reasons why a dishwasher might stop mid-cycle:

Power Outage: If there is a power outage, your dishwasher will stop mid-cycle.

Door Issues: If the dishwasher door is not closed properly or the door latch is not working, the dishwasher will stop mid-cycle.

Overloading: If you overload the dishwasher, it can cause the dishwasher to stop mid-cycle.

Clogged Spray Arm: If the spray arm is clogged with food or other debris, it can stop the dishwasher from functioning properly and cause it to stop mid-cycle.

Clogged Filter: A clogged dishwasher filter can cause the dishwasher to stop mid-cycle.

Control Board Problems: A faulty control board can cause the dishwasher to stop mid-cycle.

Float Switch Issues: A malfunctioning float switch can cause the dishwasher to stop mid-cycle. The float switch is responsible for detecting water levels and signaling the control board to stop the cycle if the water level is too high.

Low Water Pressure: If the water pressure to the dishwasher is too low, it can cause the dishwasher to stop mid-cycle.

Faulty Water Inlet Valve: A faulty water inlet valve can cause the dishwasher to stop mid-cycle.

If your dishwasher is stopping mid-cycle, try to identify the cause of the problem and fix it as soon as possible. If you’re unable to fix the problem yourself, it may be best to call Appliance Recovery for help.
