This one fills, heats, recirc motor and drain pump work, but half way through a cycle it just stops (with water in it), open the door close it again and it continues. AArrgghhh its the time waiting for it to stop thats bleeding me dry.

Usually a poorly fitted decor door panel pulling the door out of line or the dishwasher cabinet askew in the cupboard fitting. It can also be the decor door hitting the outer cupboard carcass before the door is completely closed. These machines use a magnetic door switch and a catch that sometimes allows the door to open slightly on the hot wash or rinse….. the pressure can be just enough to push the door open the critical amount. Shut the door and it resumes – usually never repeating when you need it too. 😳
Cure – adjust decor door or cabinet to get a really positive click when the door shuts. The door also mustn’t foul on the cabinet sides. If that still doesn’t correct it then new catch assembly (under lid) or mag sensor inside door (where every other dishwasher has a time proven latch and microswitch unit).
