A faulty timer switch is often the cause of dishwasher breakdown. This very important switch is basically the brains of the machine, controlling various wash cycles, while automatically regulating the length of time for each cycle used.
'''How do I know if it's a faulty timer switch:'''
# Machine will not turn on (circuit breaker and fuses are okay).
# Machine runs through one or more cycles, then stops.
# Machine continues to operate on one cycle and will not switch to the next one.

Don't worry, '''"Dishwasher timer switch replacement" is a fairly simple task.'''First, check the dishwashers make and model number. Buy a proper replacement switch from a local dealer.
You will see that the timer switch has a number of wires running to and from it. Reconnecting them will be much easier if (before you remove the switch) you draw a diagram or label the wires so you are certain where each will reattach to the new switch assembly.
For problems that appear ''NOT'' to be related to the timer switch or cannot be solved by the simple repairs mentioned, it is probably time to give a service person a call.
