Bosch SHE4ARF2UC/22 Dishwasher not completing cycles

[dropthemic]

For the last several days my dishwasher has been stopping mid cycle. Sometimes it would restart after just pressing the Start button or opening the door, closing and pressing the start button. Now it is not restarting. The DW stops with lots of water in the bottom. The timer blinks. Pressing the Start button has no effect. By holding the power button for around 10 seconds I was able to get it to reset and start again; it ran for a few minutes then stopped again. As soon as I can find the time I'll check drain line (though what I can see looks clear). Is there a diagnostic test or cycle I can run? What are the best troubleshooting steps? Thanks for any help - forums like these and people like you are a godsend.

Tried to run it again this morning and was able to get it into Cancel mode and it ran long enough to drain the water at the bottom of the dishwasher. So it seems that if it runs long enough it will in fact drain. I'm thinking the door switch?  Should I hear any clicking when trying to activate the switch manually? I don't.

When you hit cancel and drain the water out, is there any water sitting at the bottom? This unit will stop if either it doesn’t drain completely or if the door opens. When the door opens, the red light and/or display lights will blink. If the door isn’t closed properly, this is when the door may open mid cycle.

I took out the door switch and the latch that pulls the door in was stuck and wasn't pulling the door shut like it should. Once this was freed, the dishwasher went back to operating normally.

Thanks for the feedback!
