Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Before opening any panels, ensure the appliance is unplugged. Work only if you are comfortable with basic electrical checks.
- Check household supply: Verify that the kitchen socket has power by plugging in another device. Reset any tripped breakers or RCDs.
- Inspect power cord: Examine the Becken dishwasher’s power cord for cuts, burns, or crushed sections. Do not use the appliance if the cord is damaged.
- Test on/off switch: Remove the control panel (after unplugging) and check the on/off rocker or pushbutton switch for loose connectors. If the switch feels loose or does not click, it may be faulty.
- Control board inspection: Visually inspect the main PCB for burnt components or darkened areas. If present, the board likely needs replacement.
If you are not experienced with electrical diagnostics, contact a qualified technician to avoid shock hazards.
