Frigidaire Dishwasher stops mid-cycle
If your Frigidaire dishwasher stops mid-cycle, the most likely cause is a bad or clogged water inlet valve. When the valve fails, the dishwasher can drain the sump area and then stall before the next fill, which is a common reason a dishwasher stops during cycle or shuts off mid-cycle. Next, check the door latch, since a worn latch or door switch can make the control think the door opened and stop the wash. It also helps to check for fault codes, because a Frigidaire dishwasher that stops mid-cycle will often flash an error that points you in the right direction. If no code leads to the problem, the control board is another common suspect because it powers nearly every major component. Less often, a failed circulation pump or pump and motor assembly can cause the cycle to stop, especially if the motor only hums or the pump housing is blocked with debris.

01 - Frigidaire Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve
The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the dishwasher. If the water valve fails, the dishwasher will stop in mid-cycle after the remaining water in the sump area has drained prior to the fill cycle. The water inlet valve coil can be tested for electrical continuity to help determine if the part is faulty. The valve could also be clogged. A clogged valve can not be cleaned and should be replaced.

02 - Frigidaire Dishwasher Door Latch
The dishwasher door needs to be properly latched for the appliance to work. If the latch is faulty, the door switch could signal the control board to stop the dishwasher in mid-cycle. Inspect the door latch for any damage and replace if necessary.

05 - Frigidaire Dishwasher Circulation Pump
The circulation pump uses a motor and impeller to force water up through the wash arms. If the circulation pump is defective, the dishes won’t be cleaned properly. If the motor isn’t making any noise or is just making a humming sound after the dishwasher has filled, the motor may be burned out. First, ensure that power is getting to the motor. Second, to ensure that the impeller can turn, check the pump housing for debris. If power is getting to the motor and the pump is clear of debris, the motor might need to be replaced. Be aware that the circulation pump may be challenging to replace, although many do-it-yourselfers ha...

06 - Frigidaire Dishwasher Pump and Motor Assembly
The motor drives an impeller to force water up through the wash arms. If the motor is defective, the pump impeller is broken, or some part of the pump is clogged, dishes won’t be cleaned properly. Make sure that power is getting to the circulation pump and motor. If power is getting to the pump and motor assembly but it still won’t run, replace the pump and motor assembly.
