Dishwasher not turning on
What would cause a dishwasher not to turn on?
If there are no lights displaying on the dishwasher, please check that plug is properly inserted into the socket and the switch is set to on.
If this has been established, check that the socket is providing power by plugging in another electrical product into the socket, for example a lamp. If the socket doesn’t work, insert the dishwasher plug into the socket next to it, if you have a double socket, and try again.
If the sockets work, check the fuse in the plug by putting the fuse into another appliance’s plug or by putting a new fuse which you know works into the dishwasher’s plug. Make sure that you use a 13 amp fuse.
You should also check if the circuit breaker has tripped. If necessary, contact an electrician.
