When your dishwasher won't start, it could be a problem with your electrical panel or the door might not be closing properly.

Check your household electrical panel for a tripped breaker or blown fuse. Also check to make sure the door latches closed properly.

For additional troubleshooting steps you can take and things you can do, read Dishwasher won't start for more suggestions. I hope this helps!

My dishwasher stops mid cycle, beeps and the lights blink. I push start/resume and it starts and then stops mid cycle again. It hasn't finished a cycle in over a week.

I am doing all this and nothing! No lights turn on briefly, no short cycle begins..nothing. It will work 1 cycle then not a cycle, I have reset with turning off breaker, using the key sequence above, thought it was a drain issue, replaced the hoses. And here we are machine is not even a year old yet. Help

DIshwasher stopped during wash and won't run or drain.

Sounds like a drain motor startup capacitor, or stuck pump. Try disconnecting power and turn the water pump manually. Some disassembly required. Then after a few good hand spins replug and try again.

My dishwasher will not start. The 3 second button light is on and when I press it nothing happens . I try pressing any other button and nothing works

It sounds like you have "locked" the dishwasher. This was an added feature that most people never wanted since it only seems to be set by accident.

Try pressing the 3 second button and holding it down for at least three seconds. This should turn the light off. Drove us nuts the first time it happened. If it doesn't turn off then I guess it is broken.

I have an older kenmore dishwasher. I press ''normal cycle'' and then ''start'' and the washing light goes on and the water fills but nothing else. No spinning, no water heating. Help?

It sounds like a bad control board or timer assembly.

As a general rule, if there is a problem with an interlock switch on the door or flood switch, the unit won't even start.

Try turning the power off to the dishwasher, wait a few minutes and turn it back on, then try again. If no luck, the board/timer sounds like the problem.

These parts are replaceable, but if the dishwasher is over 10-12 years old, it not be worth the repairs. Get estimates first.

Frigidaire Dishwasher Energy Star blinking lights.

Hmmm...don't know why this worked, but it did. When the lights were flashing when I tried to start my Frigidaire dishwasher model#FDB1500LF, nothing would happen...just blinking lights, so I went to the house electrical panel, found the switch for the dishwasher, turned off & on again, and now the dishwasher works.
Go figure.

Kenmore Ultra Wash Dishwasher LIghts are blinking....

I just read this for the same problem: push sanitize, then heat and dry, sanitize, heat and dry, sanitize, heat and dry, cancel, then open and close the door. It worked. The dishwasher is running correctly even as I type this.
