Dishwasher Malfunction?
I have a three year old Magic Chef dishwasher. About once a week (or every third time trying to use it), it goes nutty. Nothing happens when you hit the buttons - doesn't start. It gets power just fine because the "delay wash" lights will light up - in fact, they will light up and flash, but then that's it - they shut right back off. This will go on for a couple of days, and then out of the blue, when I push the "start" button again, it will run - with me having done nothing to the actual dishwasher. Any ideas? Nothing in the troubleshooting portion of the manual at all. In fact, that manual was worthless.
Silver - Really? How many times? I guess every time it does this, I DO open and close the door, not to purposely re-set it, mostly just to complain about the stupid thing! Hmm.

I agree it is the door switch. Try pushing in on the door and holding it in the next time it does it. If it works when you do that, you will know for sure it is the door switch.
The door switch / latch should be adjustable. Check out this site for how to fix it:
