Dishwasher powers on but will not start cycle; pressing Start does nothing or only beeps.

Safety first: Disconnect power before removing any panels.

• Confirm door closure: Close the door firmly until you hear a positive click. Ensure racks or large dishes are not blocking the door.
• Check for control lock: Many Danby models have a child lock feature. Look for a lock icon and hold the designated button (often 3–5 seconds) to disable.
• Test different cycles: Try selecting another program to rule out a single faulty button.
• Inspect door latch: If the unit still will not start, test the door latch switch for continuity when closed and replace if defective.
