Normally a dishwasher doesn't move out that much during a cycle even if it is not screwed in, unless the feet are drastically off causing it to "walk". The fact that it shuts off and "walks", sounds like the motor is going.....motor starts spinning, throwing the machine off balance, system shuts down.

We've used Jonathan's Appliance Services on several occasions. Great young man that does good, reasonable work. He buys and fixes old appliances. 352-568-5629. I highly recommend him.

This guy came out to my house, couldn't fix the problem I had (it required a licensed plumber, which he is not), and tried to walk away without any payment whatsoever. I couldn't have been more impressed. Who does a service call and doesn't ask to be paid? Call him.

Issue: My dishwasher is operating fine, but is loose, and is coming out of its cabinet. This causes it to stop mid cycle, and I have to push to it back into place and re-set the cycle.

I called Mike Scott plumbing, but I guess this is not a “specific” plumbing issue, but an issue with the installation of dishwasher, so they don’t handle those issues.

Even though my home is no longer under warranty, I called the Villages warranty dept for a referral. They referred me to who they would use for this issue. I called that company, and they referred me to another individual who handles these specific issues. Called that person, left voice message, but calls are not being returned, so I have lost confidence in the quality of that referral.

Thanks for any referrals anyone can give me.

Jeff, from "Most Affordable Appliance Repair" has been excellent with out appliances. Fair, knowledgeable and most of all responsive. He is in our area so don't let the area code throw you. 850-508-2652.

Our microwave has decided to protest in sympathy for the dishwasher. It refuses to heat up anything but will do all of the other functions.

We will fix its wagon by replacing it. Not worth calling repairman as it is 15 years old.

The front footings are loose. Get a wrench and a carpets level and twist the adjustment nuts until the front is a little hight than the back..

Most of the suggested solutions are ignoring that the OP said that the dishwasher is stopping in mid-cycle. This indicates to me that there is a loose electrical connection, which has nothing to do with the screws securing the dishwasher to the countertop.

Interestingly my wife found the guide that came with the microwave.

It has 2 filters that should be cleaned monthly and a grease filter that should be replaced monthly.

Who knew?
