I have a kitchenaid dishwasher that stopped working mid-cycle. We checked the power sources, and they seem to be working. Could this be a blown fuse on the dishwasher? Or some other problem?

Thanks

Could this be a blown fuse on the dishwasher?
Yes it could be the fuse (Item 6 in Section 2).
Remove it and check it with a meter. It should be 0 ohms.
If it is blown be sure to replace the wiring harness when you replace the fuse.

Or some other problem?
Yes, it could be something else (door switch etc.) but since power is OK I would start with the fuse.

I've replaced the fuse twice now. Each time the dishwasher worked for a while and then stopped working again mid-cycle. Is there something else I should try?

Since you have replaced the fuse and it's harness twice there has to be something that is drawing too much current during a run.
My guess would be the motor the operative word here is guess.
Since it is intermittent it is not going to be easy to find.
Everything else seems OK so I am assuming that the filters etc. for the motor are all OK.

One thing I would check is the voltage to the unit, should be 120 volts. Low voltage can cause it to pull more current.
If the unit is not on a separate line try to figure out what else in on the line that may have come on during the run, dropping the voltage.
