Default Dishwasher stops running, starts again when door latch is opened and closed
Brand: General Electric
Age: 5 - 10 years

The dishwasher stops churning repeatedly in the middle of a wash cycle. I can hear the motor or the timer or something still running in there, but all other activity ceases. When I unlatch and relatch the door, it starts working again for a few minutes, then stops again and I have to unlatch and relatch the door to start it again. Is it possible that there is something wrong with the door latch that is causing this? I have examined what I can see of the latch and it seems fine. Or is this an indication of another problem?

It sounds like the door switch may be faulty.

Take the console apart and check the wiring and the switches.

Can you please provide your model number?
