Dishwasher Stops Mid-Cycle or Doesn't Clean

Cycle quits partway, leaves standing water, or dishes come out dirty — drain, heat, or spray.

1

When it stops, is there standing water in the bottom of the tub?

Standing water = a drain problem. A completed cycle with dirty dishes = a wash/heat problem. Two very different paths.

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