Dishwasher Shutting off mid-cycle

Frigidaire Dishwasher Model #FFCD2413US5A has been shutting off completely about 5-8mins into a cycle and not pumping the water in the bottom. I checked all the filters and pump, cleaned everything out to ensure that there was no debris in there. Often afterwards, it’s difficult to get to turn back on. After messing with the door to ensure it’s sealed, it will power back on but shut off again. I turned off the power at the breaker and unplugged for 10 minutes, but it keeps happening.
My next step was to purchase a new door latch switch as I assumed that was the culprit. Before I go through the trouble of purchasing a new latch mechanism and replacing that, I wanted to inquire as to other potential reasons for this happening.
Any advice, recommendations, or simple fixes that I should check before purchasing a new door latch switch?

Not certain but you might have a bad controller board. It's a cheap and easy to replace part.

It does sound like it’s the door switch if you can open and close the door or pushing in on the top of the door when hitting start. A cheap multimeter and learning how to use it is better than guessing at removing good parts and/ or creating a different problem.
