Dishwasher Trouble Shooting Guide
If your dishwasher won’t start then a few quick and easy checks could get you up and running. Saving you time and money.
Is the dishwasher turned on?
Sounds obvious but always worth a check! Is it plugged into the socket and the socket turned on.
Try plugging in another device to the socket, such as a vacuum cleaner. If that also doesn’t work then it the problem is with your mains supply to the socket, could be a fuse or power cut. Perhaps time to call an electrician!
If it the other appliance does work then the problem isn’t with your socket, continue reading.
Is the dishwasher door fully closed?
Open and close the door. Ensure it is fully closed and try turning it on again.
Manual reset
If the above checks have not resolved the problem then try a manual reset. It is best to check the user manual for your particular make and model of dishwasher, however it is often done by pressing and holding down either the “on/off” button or the “programme” button.
Still won’t turn on
If your dishwasher still won’t turn on then consult the user guide for further help or call a professional dishwasher repair technician.
