Possible Causes
Tripped household circuit breaker, Loose power cord connection at junction box, Faulty door latch switch, Failed main control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Before opening any panels, ensure the dishwasher is disconnected from power at the breaker.
- Check breaker and outlet: Verify the dishwasher's circuit breaker is not tripped. Reset if necessary. If the unit is cord-connected, test the outlet with another appliance.
- Inspect junction box: Remove the lower kick plate and open the power junction box. Confirm wire nuts are tight and there are no burnt wires.
- Door latch switch: The dishwasher will not power up if the door latch switch is faulty. Access the latch from the top of the door, test the switch for continuity when closed, and replace if defective.
- Control board: If power is present at the board but there are no lights or response, the main control board is likely failed and should be replaced.
