Why your Fisher & Paykel dishwasher is won't start

Most likely causes
- Tripped thermal protector

- A power supply or wiring fault
- Faulty door switch or interlock

Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Before booking a repair, try a different outlet if one's available, to rule out a dead circuit rather than the unit itself. Also, 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. If that doesn't fix it, if power and the door are both fine, the fault is in the control board or start circuit, and testing that safely means working inside a live electrical panel.
