Maytag Dishwasher stops mid-cycle
If your Maytag dishwasher stops mid-cycle, the most likely problem is a bad or clogged water inlet valve. When the dishwasher reaches the fill portion of the cycle, a failed valve can keep water from entering, so the machine drains the sump and then just quits. If your Maytag dishwasher stops during cycle or shuts off mid-cycle, check the water inlet valve first, including the valve coil for continuity. Next, inspect the door latch. A weak or damaged latch can cause the door switch to signal the control board to stop the dishwasher even if the door looks closed. It also helps to check for any fault codes, since a Maytag dishwasher cycle stops before finished will often store an error that points you in the right direction. If those parts check out, the control board is another common cause because it powers nearly every electrical component. Less often, a defective circulation pump or pump and motor assembly can stall operation, especially if the motor hums or the impeller is jammed with debris.

01 - Maytag 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.

05 - Maytag 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 - Maytag 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.
