The dishwasher (Whirlpool) will not stay running. I push the door in and it starts to run, but then stops... I suspect it is the locking mechanism - needs to be adjusted or replaced. Thanks

My dishwasher smells like burning rubber during certain cycles while running. There is nothing sitting on the heating element. The dishwasher is about 6 years old.

Washer And Dryer Repair
Before you attempt any dryer repairs, make sure that the appliance has been disconnected from the power source. Most common dryer repair problems involve a dryer that refuses to turn on, lack of heat, lack of tumbling, slow drying, over heating, too much noise etc. There are some basic dryer repair steps you can take to get your dryer working before a professional repair service shows up. In case of a dryer that refuses to turn on at all, first determine if there is enough power. See if the dryer is plugged in properly, and if it is, check if the fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped. Another reason could be a defective door switch. You can find the switch near the door frame. Try getting the switch to work by opening the front or top of the dryer, and if this doesn't work, get the switch replaced. If there is a lack of heat in the dryer, check if the fuse or circuit breaker has blown. If you have a gas dryer, basic gas dryer repairs will involve checking to see if the gas supply is turned on. Check both the gas valve located behind the dryer, as well as the main gas connection. If your gas dryer has an electronic ignition, you may have an ignition problem that must be fixed by a gas dryer repair man. If you have an older dryer, check to see if the pilot light is burning, and light it again, if it is not.
If the dryer doesn't heat properly, the problem could be an interruption with the heat source. Make sure that the dial setting is not turned to a low heat or low heat setting. In case of an electric dryer, a lack of heating may be because of a blown circuit breaker or fuse. An electric dryer usually has two fuses or breakers. Only one is necessary for the motor to run, but for heating both must be functioning properly. In case of a dryer that has an electronic ignition, a lack of heating could be because of a defective ignition. Get it repaired by a professional gas dryer repair service. In case of a pilot light, make sure that it's burning and if not, light it again.
In case of a washing machine that doesn't run, make sure that it's plugged in properly. If the washer doesn't fill with water, there may be a blockage in the water inlet screen. Get these cleaned, or replaced. There could also be a broken timer or temperature selector, and these can be repaired by a washing machine repair service. A washing machine that stops mid cycle can be fixed by removing some items of clothing, which reduces the load on the motor. If the washing machine shakes or makes noise, check if the feet are properly level on the floor. For any other kind of washing machine repairs, it's best to call a qualified repair person.
