Door-latch, power, control, or safety-switch issues can interrupt operation.

Common concerns
The symptom is the starting point. Testing is needed to identify the actual cause and repair scope.
Symptoms and possible causes
Several different components can create similar symptoms, so these examples are educational rather than a diagnosis.
Door-latch, power, control, or safety-switch issues can interrupt operation.
The drain path, pump, filter, hose, or connected sink plumbing may need to be checked.
Water temperature, spray action, filtration, loading, detergent, or a component problem can affect cleaning.
Door sealing, hoses, pumps, valves, spray action, or installation conditions can be involved.

Diagnostic process
Model-specific access and testing vary, but a careful service visit generally follows this sequence.
Confirm the reported symptom and review any error code.
Inspect the appliance, connections, and accessible components related to the symptom.
Use appropriate testing to isolate the source of the problem.
Explain the findings and available next steps before additional work proceeds.
Repair or replace?
Compare the diagnosed repair with the machine's age, rack and tub condition, cleaning performance, leak history, and part availability.
