Latch sensor failed after less than 50 runs 

Very disappointed in this early failure of a latch sensor. We found that the dishwasher stopped early in the cycle and tried to restart it without success. About 15 seconds after pressing the start button, a chime sounds and the front indicator light flashes amber, same pattern as when I press start but leave the door open. My husband, the reliability engineer, cut the power off at the circuit breaker and then restarted the machine as per GE consumer advice, but to no avail. Removed the tub-sided latch and same error chime/indicator light pattern. Google search of the problem reveals multiple suggestions for adjusting the dishwasher installation to insure a good connection between sensors when closing the door. The latch closes completely and securely, but the sensors have simply failed. Very disappointed in GE which has been such a reliable brand for us.
