Dishwasher powers on but will not start any program; Start button beeps or flashes and cycle does not begin.

Safety first: Disconnect power before removing the door panel if needed.

• Check door closure: Ensure the door is firmly closed and not obstructed by racks or large dishes. Listen for the latch click.
• Child lock: Consult the Ilve user manual to see if a child lock function is active (often indicated by a key symbol). Disable it using the prescribed button combination.
• Try different programs: Select another cycle to rule out a specific program fault.
• Door switch test: If the problem persists, access the door lock/switch and test continuity when the door is closed. Replace the lock assembly if it does not signal closed.
• UI button check: If the Start button feels stuck or does not register, the user interface board may need replacement.
