Inspect the control panel
In a typical Jade dishwasher, you'll find the control panel mounted at the top of the door. This contains the primary buttons and display, and it connects to the electronic control board via a ribbon wire cable. It is easy to overlook a loose or possibly shorted control panel, but this is a likely source of trouble that can either prevent the dishwasher from working at all or disable it midway through the cycle. Look for a loose connection and stuck buttons on the control panel's face, and replace the part if necessary.
Test the electronic control board
The electronic control board is a common location for serious dishwasher repair. This board controls nearly everything the dishwasher does, from starting up to switching cycles and shutting down on time, so a problem with its delicate circuitry can have unpredictable effects on any of the washer's other components. Have this board professionally tested and replaced if necessary.
Replace the pump and motor assembly
The pump and motor assembly is the heart of a dishwasher. This component is responsible for pushing water through the system, and a malfunction can shut down the washer or cause it to work inefficiently, leaving dishes dirty at the end of a cycle.
