A dishwasher that will not start may have a problem with the door latch, control panel, thermal fuse, power supply, wiring, timer, or control board. In some cases, the dishwasher may appear completely dead, while in others the lights may turn on but the cycle will not begin.
Many dishwashers are designed not to run unless the door is fully latched and the safety switches are working correctly. If power is available but the dishwasher still will not start, professional diagnostics can help identify the failed component.
