My dishwasher will sometimes run a complete cycle but MOST of the time it will not. Below are the symptoms when it does not run a complete cycle:

• When the knob is first turned to wash, water will fill the washer and it will either start washing or not start at all.
  
• If it starts washing, the washer will stop in the middle of the cycle but the timer will continue to turn. After some time, it will start back up (it don't matter at what part of the cycle it starts). It will continue to run to the end of the cycle but most of the time the water will not drain completely and the dishes will still be dirty with some soap residue.
  
• If it does not start washing, the timer will continue to turn until it starts whenever it wants to start. It will have the same symptoms as the one described above.
  
• Sometimes, the timer will turn all the way to the off position and the dishwasher will not start at all.

It sounds like it might be a timer problem.

Can you please provide your model number?

It is found on a tag on the tub where the door closes.

It's a little hard to see but here's what I got:

It sounds like there are some faulty wiring connections to the motor.

You will have to check your wiring from the timer to the motor.

Does it do the same thing if you select a different cycle on the push buttons?

The wiring diagram should be in the bottom access panel of the dishwasher or in the control panel.

Here is a link to your dishwasher model DU850DWGQ1.

It does not matter what cycle I select, it will have the same symptoms.

I will check the wiring to see if I have any bad connections.
