If it always stops at the same point in the cycle odds are high that it is the timer. Would also check to be sure that some thing has not come loose and is jamming the timer cam.

If it is random could be that the door/latch switch needs replacing or adjusting.
Might also be a bad connection in the wiring hook up.

Thanks for the reply denman i dont think my problem is the timer got it today same deal my wiring looks ok so i guess that leaves the door latch switch in question.... should i go with that? dishwasher still stopping in middle of cycle.....

I would check that the door latch is pushing the switch actuator down properly.
Am not sure if there is any adjustment on the switch but try to move it up a little so it activates earlier.
The switch is $60.00 approx. and the timer is $80.00 approx. so if you have to replace both you will be at $148.00. Depending on the condition of the unit this is getting close to where it makes more sense to replace the unit.
Also you have no guarantee that either one is at fault.

When it stops if you can just open the door and close it and it starts up and runs right away I would go with the switch.

OK denman the dishwasher switch actuator is ok now i have to buttons also the Black actuators 2 of them 1 on top & below it also i noticed that there is a brass looking metal piece thingy over top of it that was only contacting 1 of those buttons i slide it up a notch now dishwasher runs thru whole cycle & finishes but my water is still on bottom of washer it sounded like it drained but didnt im bailing out water now so any other ideas that might help me ? thanks in advance!

uns thru whole cycle & finishes but my water is still on bottom of washer it sounded like it drained but didnt im bailing out water now so any other ideas that might help me ?
Don't bother bailing it.
If you have bailed is run a cycle and wash the wash/drain solenoid
Put the timer to mid point in a wash cycle.
Push the solenoid arm down, left hand side of the pump assembly.
Latch the door so the cycle starts and see it it drains.
Once the motor starts you should be able to release the solenoid arm.
Once the unit gurgles it means it is empty and the solenoid arm should return to the home position.
If all the above runs OK but it does not drain then you may havev a clog somewhere.


This is how this works.
For a drain cycle the timer applies power to the drain solenoid for about 5 seconds. The solenoids will overheat and melt their plastic if power is applied for the entire drain cycle.
The solenoids plunger pulls down, this move a flapper valve in the pump assembly. Now the water is directed out the drain instead of up through the wash arms.
The water pressure keeps this valve closed till the water is drained out and then the plunger returns to the wash position.

One thing to note the unit never drains 100% of the water as the pump seals will burn up if the sump is dry, usually 1/4 inch or so of water is left in the bottom of the tub.
