We have been away for about a week, and it was working before we left.
I've given it a first check over and I can't see anything obvious.

It is a Lamona built in full size model, but is running a 30 minute test
cycle at the moment so I can't delve inside to find the label for the
precise model number.

Water seems to run in, you can hear the jets jetting, and water is pumped
out again so there doesn't seem to be an obvious major blockage.

Prior to more detailed investigation (like finding the manual which came
with it and has been stored "somewhere safe") has anyone encountered
something similar?


It could just be chance timing in regards to being away.

Our dishwasher has recently begun sometimes stopping with 39 minutes
remaining. I know exactly what it is, the cycle checks at that point that
the door is still shut


Weird that it does it like that instead of checking that continuously.

What make and model ?


and the spring on the catch is weakening a
bit. Pushing the door a few mm restarts it and it then runs to the end.

As I am currently waiting for a part to repair our washing machine, the
dishwasher can wait!
