Thread: Whirlpool Quiet Partner IV - Stops in mid wash

We have a Whirlpool Quiet Partner IV. It came with the house we bought so I am guessing it is six or seven years old by now. The last couple of times we have used it, it has stopped working towards the middle of the drying cycle. It washes the dishes fine but when it gets to the dry cycle it seems to stall. I have tried different wash modes and that doesn't seem to have an effect. When it "stalls" for lack of a better word, it is still getting power but the display begins to flash intermitently. No additional lights turn on when it flashes, just the count down timer and approprate setting lights. I tried opening and closing the door but that had no effect. I am forced to cancel the wash using the cancel/drain button and that works fine. There is no water left at the bottom of the tub and the dishes are clean. It always (so far) happens during the drying cycle. If this is going to be an expensive fix, I would rather just get a new dishwasher. On the same hand, I don't want to spend more money than I need to.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
