Dishwasher will not power on at all; no lights or display.

Safety first: Do not open live electrical parts. Always disconnect the appliance from the mains before removing covers.

• 1. Check external power: Verify the kitchen socket works by plugging in another appliance. Reset any tripped breakers or RCDs.
• 2. Inspect power cord: Check the Finlux dishwasher power cord for cuts, burns, or crushed sections. Do not use the appliance if the cord is damaged.
• 3. Door fully closed: Ensure the door is firmly latched; some models will not power the display unless the door switch is engaged.
• 4. Internal checks: If comfortable and with power disconnected, remove the lower front panel and inspect the mains filter module and wiring for burn marks or loose connectors.
• 5. Professional repair: If the socket and cord are good but the dishwasher remains dead, the internal fuse, mains filter, or control board is likely faulty and should be replaced by a qualified technician.
