The dishwasher starts with fill cycle for about 11/2 minute, then the wash pump will get engaged.
The first thing I would check are the wires under the dishwasher and inside the door for a damaged insulation and possible shortage.
Post your findings, please.
Good luck.

The dishwasher belongs to my daughter. I when over to check it out. It did have water in the tub. I drained the water and tried the washer it was a dead short now. I disconnected the wires to the heating element and it runs OK. When I was disconnecting the wires some water leaked out. I not sure if I caused that problem by maybe beaking the seal or not. But once I unplugged the element the short when away. The element looks OK. No cracks and the element did heat up when I was testing the dishwasher. Any ideas?
