Dishwasher Fills Then Stops

Water comes in, then it just sits — float switch, jammed pump, or door latch.

1

After it fills and stops, is there ANY sound — a hum, a click — or total silence?

A hum with no circulation means something is jamming the wash pump or the motor has failed. Total silence points to the float switch or latch cutting the cycle.

Always de-energize the circuit and verify it's dead with a tester before opening any device. When in doubt, call a licensed electrician.
