Dishwasher Won’t Start - Top 6 Reasons & Fixes - Whirlpool, GE, LG, Maytag & More

[@sfitch14]

Great video! When I went to remove the control panel to test the door switch, I noticed that the panel was a little loose. The plastic female anchors were all broken and therefore not holding the control panel tight. I tested the door switch since I had it opened and that worked. So I put longer screws in to better secure than panel. Running a test load now. So far , it's working. Will let you know if the lights start blinking again and it stops working.

I was able to find the problem in my wife's dishwasher, thank you for the video I appreciate it a lot!

[@appliancepartspros]

You are very welcome!

I have been hesitant to open the front panel because...well,...electronics. Thank you for making it seem so "easy." Any now I'm off to get one of those continuity thingamajigs. Wish me luck!

I have a newer GE D/W that has gone blank but will run after the power is turned off for a few minutes and turned back on Thanks Jim

My portable GE dishwasher won’t start. Several months ago I had the timer replaced. When it wouldn’t start, I checked the basics. Then my husband leaned over the washer to get some coffee and leaned down on the washer and it started. When he stood up, it stopped. I opened the latch compartment and there was a piece of paper in there. I removed it, put everything back together and the washer started. I worked for two loads and then it quit in the middle of the cycle. Now it won’t start at all again. Can something in there be loose? What should I do? Thank you in advance for your videos.

My dishwasher was not starting. Lights were on. Turn off circut breaker for a few second and turned back on. It now works. Reboot the computer first?

[@BobCurtis-v1t]

Great job thanks

[@appliancepartspros]

I have an older model GE natilus dishwasher with a timer and metal latch assembly. The problem I'm having is it will run for a few minutes then cut off. When it cuts off I have to unplug the washer and wait about 15 or 20 minutes then it will run again for a few minutes. Any ideas on what my issue could be?

[@apodsim]

The video mentions a "tech sheet". Where can you obtain this document?

[@olyalvarez64]

Very informative.

[@ashokkundra506]

good video

[@pamelarichardson935]

dishwasher cleaned but then it stopped at the end it would not drain and would not come back on. What you are demonstrating can those be my problem? I just didn't know if things like that just go when its still in a cycle

[@annkurzius1260]

Same problem with my 2-year-old GE Profile.

child lock blinking on kitchen aid dishwasher. Tried pushing energy saving button for 5 seconds. Didn't work and delay hours 2 light blinking,cancel light blinking I try everything not working

[@maggieferguson6850]

Cyle and start button won't compress

[@bobfloyd2695]

Geat video

[@michellemasters3045]

Be real . Hold the cancel or drain button down if you don’t have a reset button. Just like restarting a computer, hold the button down for a minute. That’s a restart

[@appliancepartspros]

These videos are just general videos to give you ideas on what could be causing your issue. The cancel or drain button could work for your model, but other models that may not work for them and they may have to use a different method.

[@nadeanbelk9916]

Thank you so much! I did that, and my dishwasher is working perfectly!

[@joshgregory1763]

That worked for me too. Thanks for that easy fix. The troubleshooting guide in the manual didn't say to try resetting it, or even how to reset it...

My world pool dishwasher when I started the light just flashes and green light flashes doesn’t do anything else

[@annewestrup7440]

same, what was the problem do you know

[@dcuc2423]

My whirlpool , the light turns on for 3 seconds when the start button is pressed then doesn’t do anything

[@MacGregor9488]

@@annewestrup7440 We called someone to check it and it turns out that it had like a panel that had to be replaced and it would’ve cost more than to buy a new one so we ended up just scrapping it out and buying a new one. The panel was also out of stock for about three months.
