Cant close door and the dishwasher does a cycle while the door is open

Open the dishwasher door sufficiently to see the control buttons, then hold the two buttons with labels "Cancel Drain" and press for 3 seconds.
Close the door. Wait nearly 1 minute for the dishwasher to complete the cycle.
Open the door and hold the "ON/OFF" toggle.

Reset Bosch Ascenta Dishwashers
Shut off the child lock if needed by pressing and holding "Open the door far enough to see the keys, then hold the "START RESET" toggle until the "ACTIVE" LED become extinguished. On the SHE5AM model of Bosch Dishwashers, hold the "START RESET" key until the display clock shows "0:01".
Close the door and rest about 60 seconds. On the SHE5AM, wait until the display clock displays "0:00".
Open the door and hold the "ON/OFF" toggle.

On many Bosch dishwshers (especially those with the controls on top), they expect your to press the appropriate cycle and option(s) buttons, and then press the Start key, ALL WITH THE DOOR OPEN. Immediately after pressing the START button, close the door (within 3 seconds), and the dishwasher should start.

On other Bosch dishwashers, if you open the door, the poser button is automatically turned off. On those models, you must close the door, turn the Power button ON, and THEN press the appropriate cycle & options buttons. If your dishwasher has a START button, then press it; otherwise just wait 10 second with the door closed.

See? There is no such thing as a "basic bosch dishwasher". Next time, if you have a question, please provide the model number of your dishwasher (or other appliance).

Whirlpool dishwashers use a wax motor or a solinoid to release the door at a specific time during the cycle. So for proper cleaning the soap cup is nessesary . The part isn't that expensive and fairly simple repair.

With the dishwasher door closed and the unit in standby mode or with no cycle selected and all lights off, press - heated-dry, normal, heated-dry, normal buttons in that sequence. Then press cancel..... wait until 2 minute cycle is done. Open and close the door and make sure it is closed. Then run another cycle.

Check out the micro switch on the door seems to not indicate that the machine is properly closed or your outlet pump is blocked and needs to be cleaned out,cause it is clogged up and cant remove water properly

The 9 was the minutes left in the rinse cycle. I solved the problem noticing that the door fastener had moved slightly to one side and as soon as I straightened it by hand the door closed and I could cancel the cycle. It is working fine now.

give it a few minutes it may have a built in delay when cycle is interuptede

The most common problem for a dishwasher to not restart after the door being closed is a failed door latch interlock switch. Adjusting / repairing it is not too difficult.

Of course this assumes that the Dishwasher power circuit from the circuit breaker remains powered up.

Post back here if you are looking for more details.

Good Luck!

press sani and heat back and fourth then after all lights light close door and hit start then wait about 3 minutes. worked for me

Hello bckp,
Welcome to Fixya


If your dishwasher does not run or stops during a cycle
Is the Start/Resume indicator flashing? Opening the door or
interrupting the power stopped the cycle. Close the door and
press START/RESUME.
Does the Start/Resume indicator flash 3 times when you
press START/RESUME? The dishwasher is waiting for you to
open the door after the last cycle. Open and close the door,
then press START/RESUME.
Is the door closed tightly and latched?
(NOTE: On models with a dual-digit display, the control
displays “- -” during a cycle if it believes the door is not
latched.)
Is the right cycle selected? Refer to the “Cycle Selection
Charts.”
Is there power to the dishwasher? Has a household fuse
blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped?
Has the motor stopped due to an overload? The motor
automatically resets itself within a few minutes. If it does not
restart, call for service.
Is the water shutoff valve (if installed) turned on?
It is normal for certain cycles to repeatedly pause for several
seconds during the main wash.

If the dishwasher will not fill
Check the overfill protection float that is able to move up and down
freely? Press down to release.

Let me know if any of these procedures helped you?
