• ✔ QUALIFIER 1 — dishwasher powers on and control panel lights up normally
• ✔ QUALIFIER 2 — cycle selection and delay start buttons respond correctly
• ✔ QUALIFIER 3 — water supply confirmed OK and door latch strike on the tub is not bent or broken
• ✔ ONLY problem is dishwasher won't start when door is closed, stops mid-cycle, or leaks at the door
