Why your dishwasher is won't start
Catching won't start early on a dishwasher is usually straightforward: unit completely dead, no lights, no response. Door switch, control board, or power issue. The usual culprit is a power supply or wiring fault. Left unaddressed, laundry backs up fast.
Most likely causes
- A blown line fuse
- Faulty door switch or interlock
- Failed main control board
- Tripped thermal protector
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Worth checking yourself first: check the outlet and breaker, and confirm the door is fully closed and latched — many units won't start at all with a door safety switch tripped. Also, try a different outlet if one's available, to rule out a dead circuit rather than the unit itself. Once you've ruled that out, a control board fault has to be tested with a meter against the service manual — swapping the board on a guess is an expensive way to be wrong.
