Would be most helpful if you specified the actual make and model of your dishwasher...

However in the meantime, my first path of deduction begs to ask the simple question's:

Have you set the dial to wash or even a short wash in order to activate the cycle.

More information would be helpful in correctly ascertaining your situation.
This could help determine if this is a common problem with your model, or perhaps it could
be something else entirely

Otherwise I am here guessing that maybe the breaker has flipped in your electric panel

Or

Maybe you have a butter knife jambed in the door upon closing.

Really this could be any number of small simple things.
For example, the contacts on the door latch/lock mechanism simply needs to be wiped clean and made free of debris (if any)...

Hopefully, a solution will be found quickly

Please return and let us know more, and what the solution was so it may help others with a similar situation

Door will not open and oven will not shut off

The door latch will open after the shut down, therefore go to the home circuit breakers and shut off the power to the oven. Wait a few minutes and try to open the door. If still locked, reset the power to the on position and see if the oven rest and shut down properly and the door lock released.

1995 ford futura doors wont lock

Inside the door is an electric motor that pulls the door lock down to the locked position, either the rod has come off to the door latch from the door lock motor or the motor has failed. Remove the door panel and check it for power when the button is pressed for the power locks, if it gets power then it is most likely the motor that is the problem.

What controls the delayed power retention system on a 2005 Chevy Silverado truck? Radio, windows, etc., are still powered after the door is opened. Will now only shut off after lock is pressed on remote.

You will need to check the driver door trigger as this wire shuts down that system. Also verify the circuit shuts down if you open the passenger door. The main circuit is powered from the ACC wire located in the steering column. It is a thick BROWN wire.
