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

Safety: Turn off power before removing door panels.

• Confirm door closure: Ensure the door is firmly closed and latched. Listen for a distinct click.
• Check for error indicators: Some JennAir models flash specific LEDs to indicate a door or start issue. Refer to your user manual for patterns.
• Test different cycles: Try selecting another cycle and then pressing Start. If none respond, suspect the latch or control.
• Inspect latch: Remove the inner door panel and test the door switch for continuity when latched. Replace the latch assembly if it fails.
• UI/Start button: If the latch is good, the Start button or UI board may be defective and require replacement.

Tip: Avoid leaning heavily on the door when loading; this can misalign the latch over time.
