Our dishwasher has suddenly started stopping (if you see what I mean) part
way through a cycle.
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?


Cheers

Yes, with a Siemens. The Siemens engineer was in the showroom when we
were in and I described exactly what you are experiencing to him. He
reckoned that it was the processor thinking that the dishwasher was not
emptying (even though it was) and other than aan expensive repair just
restart it again. Its an intermittent problem that we can live with and
was most often found when we ran a short cycle or half-load. We now
ignore those cycles.

It is worth you checking that there is no obstruction in either the drain
filters in the machine or the waste pipe from the machine to the main
drain from sink.

It can be a variety of things.

It certainly can't be as stupid and lonely as you are, you obnoxious

It can be a variety of things. Most dishwashers have some form of
leak detection and shut down if they detect a leak into the sump.

Most also have some form of temperature sensor. Check if the water
is being heated. Even if it is, it might be the sensor that has failed.

Most also have some form of pressure sensor and that can have
failed so it decides that the water isnt pumping when it is.

Yes and after a week of no use the d
reded sludge can solidify rather well and cause intermittent blockages. It
can happen in other appliances like washing machines as well.

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 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!

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

What make and model ?
