Our dishwasher just stopped working. All the lights seem to function properly and are acting normally. There was water left in the bottom of it as well.
I found the paper and have tried running the service mode.
When I activate the service mode, I hear a sound that sounds like the door is locking and the lights all light up for a bit then go off. When I push the various buttons to test each service mode item, the light comes on and I hear a click near the top of the door and then nothing (nothing for any of the button - nothing runs).
In addition, I took out the dishwasher and took apart quite a bit of the drain system, tubing, etc on the bottom and nothing was blocked. I checked the drain tube, the little red valve, etc.
I'm have a vom, and am comfortable with electronics, electrical, etc. so need some advice to hone in on the problem.
Thanks so much!

Check the sump pump for voltage should have 120v.....test the door switches make sure they have continuity....also test the float switch continuity and voltage.

Nope it should have voltage from the main board being sent to it so it works. If you have 120v and it's not working you got a bad or jammed sump

I figured out that there's no power to the door switch, and traced it back to a part that clips onto the control board. there is power to one side of the little part that is screwed onto that black plastic piece that clips onto the control board. it seems like some sort of sensor - I assume it should let power through unless it overheats or something. so 1) not sure if it's the issue - should it be letting the power through? 2) if so, do you know what it's called so I can find one to order? thank you!!!!
