Dishwasher runs for appx 14 min & stops washing half way thru wash cycle. Timer contunies to run. No drain pump out (nothing). Let dishwasher set idle for appx 1 hour and it will re-set. Set timer forward to end of wash cycle and it will complete rinse and final rinse. Then go to dry. Timer works ok.
Re: Dishwasher runs for appx 14 min & stops washing half...
This sounds like something is stuck in the drain pump. You can remove the inner cover to look for obstructions. You have a dual purpose motor it does the both circulating and draining. The blockage is causing it to overheat and trip the thermal protector. You can remove the drain assembly from underneath if you don't find anything from above. There is a video at www.appliancehelponline.com/servicemanual.html that walks you thru most of this. It is a different model but pretty close.If you find no obstructions the motor may be failing.

see the causes and fix it : God bless you No water Entering Dishwasher
Check to make sure water is entering the dishwasher do this by
starting a wash cycle wait for it to fill and start washing then open
door. If there is no water you will need to check the water inlet valve and the float switch. This video will walk you through checking both out. Click on links to see a photo tutorial of replacing those parts.
Low Water level
This is another common problem. To check that you have the
proper water level you will need to turn dishwasher to a wash cycle wait
for it to fill, when it starts washing stop and open the door. Now
refer to the tech sheet or service manual for the proper water leve.
They usually refer to a fixed point in the dishwasher or to a specific
measurement. This ensures that your dishwasher has enough water to wassh
properly. If your water level is low you will need to check the water inlet valve and the float switch. The video
will walk you thru inspecting and testing these components. The links
will lead you thru a photo tutorial on replacing these parts.
Wash Arms
First check to see if they are moving. To do this start
dishwasher into a wash cycle wait for it to fill and start washing open
door and rotate wash arms to a certain position remeber this position
then close the door let run for a few seconds and open door. If they are
not moving check to see if they turn freely if not replace. Next remove
the spray arms and check for clogged holes. If all looks clear you will
need to check that the circulating pump is not clogged up or has failed.
Drain Problem
This is one of the most common reasons. To check open door after
a cycle and check to see if any water is standing inside. If there is
you have a drain issue. Could be the high loop or air gap is not correct.
The drain may have a clog. The drain pump may have failed. The drain
pump can be checked for the proper ohm reading (refer to tech sheet). If
it is out of specification replace the pump. Check to see if the drain
pump is getting power. If the drain pump is getting power but not
running you will need to replace. If it is running but still leaving
water behind you will need to remove the drain pump and check/replace for obstructions.
Control
This is the least likely cause.Check to make sure it goes to
each cycle for the proper amount of time. The main control or Timer has a
pre determined amount of time programmed into it. This determines how
much time to spend at each cycle. The time is usually printed on the
tech sheet. The tech sheet is located somewhere on your dishwasher. It
could be behind the front panel,behind the console, behind the toe kick,
somewhere on the sides. If it does not stay at each cycle for the
proper lenght of time you will need to replace the control.
Are you please able to confirm what exactly is happening when you mention "dishwasher just keeps going".
Is it in a wash cycle and throwing the water around through the wash arms or do you just hear a pump running with water sitting in the base. Most likely there is a leak into the base and the auto stop circuit is trying to empty the dishwasher by running the drain pump. I would suggest you check the base of dishwasher for leaks.
There is a recall on the control board of many of these models, butyour problem is likely not related. It sounds like a plugged drain system or a possible bad drain pump. That's why you are hearing the pump running constantly. I have written a guide to help. It is here. Thanks!
The portable dishwashers of the 70's and 80's often had one area of problem, and that was the pump getting jammed with debris and food.
To eleminate this problem, you will need to open up your dishwasher carefully, and drain all the water and gunk from your dishwashers rinse hose. I recommend taking the machine outside and use a low setting pressure hose (garden hose). With the hose off the rinse side, run the water through and see if it comes out of the pump's housing. Let it run for a few minutes.
The pump also has a switch that also goes with the run cycle. This switch thinks there is not enough water or it thinks it has done its job.
Sometimes replacing the timer helps, but first eliminate the lower hose situation first. If that doesn't help, you will need to then replace timer. If this doesn't help, most likely your pump is most likely jammed or malfunctioning.
Problem solved, the dishwasher starts its wash cycle with a drain sequence, the pan did not drain in time for the wash cycle to continue , thererfor locking it out on inlet/drain alarm. I removed the drain hose from the S trap, then the non-return valve from the filter basket, made sure the drain pump impelar was free, blew down the drain hose back into dishwasher to clear any waste in the pipe,then found a block in the S trap orifis, after clearing that, reasembled and test run on cold pre wash cycle this runs for aprox 10 min.customer was very happy.
