Dishwasher powers on but will not start any program; pressing Start has no effect.

Safety first: Avoid forcing the door or buttons.

• Check door closure: Close the door firmly until you hear the latch click. Ensure no dishes or racks are obstructing the door.
• Child lock: Consult the user manual for child lock (key lock) function. Deactivate it by holding the specified button combination for several seconds.
• Program selection: Select a program and then press Start within the required time. Some models cancel selection if Start is not pressed promptly.
• Power reset: Turn off the appliance for 5 minutes, then try again.
• If still not starting: The door switch, Start button, or control board may be faulty and should be checked by a technician.
