When you say it won't start, do you mean a) the display is on and it won't respond, or b) it responds as it should, but after you hit the start button it doesn't go any further?
If it's b) make sure your water line is turned on. After you hit the start button it needs to make it's waterlevel setpoint to start the recirculation pump (thus shooting water everywhere). If it doesn't fill, then the washer doesn't know to go any further.
Anything mechanical will eventually wear out, switches are no exception. Your volume control will also wear out. The switch is probably the cheepest to replace but they last for a lot of years under heavy use.
There are a few things that can cause this problem, it could be a defective water inlet valve, it's usually located behind the lower kick plate on the left or right hand side of the dishwasher, When the washing cycle is started it sends voltage to the water inlet valve to open which allows water to enter the machine, or it could be a faulty float switch, when water enters the machine the float switch raises up which signals the water inlet valve to shut off, the float switch is located inside the dishwasher at the bottom, you can check the float switch by raising it up and down to see if it's stuck in the up position. Good luck.
