STOPS RUNNING IN MID-CYCLE

Hi, my dishwasher stops in mid-cycle, but when I push on the door it starts running again - for awhile at least. I have checked for binding and door misalignment, but everything seems to be in order - no obstruction whatsoever. Could it be the door switch?
Thanks

    my dishwasher starts, empties the standing water, fills with clean water and then shuts off.  It stops in the exact spot every time and there is nothing we can do to make it go again.  Help?!

Try placing something like a chair with books or heavy objects on it in front of the door. Tip it with objects under the front legs and place objects on its seat until the pressure closes the door and the dishwasher starts. Put additional objects on the seat to insure vibration doesn't make the door pop open. If the cycle completes, the problem is probably the door switch. If not, the problem may be with the timer switch. If it's the timer switch the dishwasher will probably stop at the same position each time.

Stops mid cycle and resumes after I push on the door handle

Rather than a problem with the latch sensor it just might be that something is preventing the door from fully closing properly. Check that there are no obstructions stuck on the door/frame seals and that the seals are in good order. Perished seals can prevent the door from closing evenly and this may cause the problems you are experiencing. Also check that the door itself is not warped or out of alignment, this will also cause such problems.

My top dishwasher drawer won't finish through the cycle. It runs fine on rinse only but not any of the wash cycles. It stops mid cycles, beeps like it has been paused, then tries to start again

Try to feel the temperature of water inside the dishwasher. If it is normal room temperature for the hot wash cycles then it is likely the heater is faulty.
It is not easy to replace unless you have good experience with repairing dishwashers.

My dishwasher stops mid cycle, beeps and the lights blink. I push start/resume and it starts and then stops mid cycle again. It hasn't finished a cycle in over a week.

I am doing all this and nothing! No lights turn on briefly, no short cycle begins..nothing. It will work 1 cycle then not a cycle, I have reset with turning off breaker, using the key sequence above, thought it was a drain issue, replaced the hoses. And here we are machine is not even a year old yet. Help
