Dishwasher will not power on at all; no lights or display, no response to buttons.

Safety first: Ensure your hands are dry and the area is safe before touching any electrical parts.

• Check outlet: Plug another appliance into the same socket to confirm it has power. Reset any tripped circuit breakers.
• Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or crushed sections on the Gorenje dishwasher's power cord. Do not use the appliance if the cord is damaged.
• Test power switch (if fitted): Some models have a rocker switch on the fascia; ensure it is in the ON position.
• Internal checks (advanced): With power disconnected, remove the lower front or side panel to access the mains filter and control board. Look for burnt components or loose connectors.

If there is visible damage to internal components or you are unsure, do not attempt further repair; contact a qualified technician.
