My KitchenAid dishwasher (KUDS25SH) start and stop

May be this is the reasons.

a) May be your door latch is opening due to pressure inside the dishwasher. The door latch opens and the dishwasher will stop. Quite common problem on KITCHENAID. KitchenAid door is a heavier door compared to sister product WHIRLPOOL. If door latch problem then has to change the door lock along with the top latch.

Can you give a little background on the unit. How old is it? Has it been serviced lately? etc...

Don't know if this will help, but when I had problems with my control panel (lights blinked and nothing worked) I fixed it by disconnecting the power completly from the dishwasher at the fuse box. Leave it off 10 or 15 minutes and then repower. That reset mine and it worked again...has happened several times and each time I could fix it by cutting the power. If that doesn't work, you may need a new control panel.

Hold the button down until it beeps and the light goes off. Eric

I found free assistance on the web.

I had the same problem. Repairman replaced flat gasket on the sump cover. Also replaced lower arm and that helped too.
