The dishwasher powers on but will not start a cycle; the Start button beeps or flashes, and a door icon may appear.

Safety first: Disconnect the power before adjusting hardware.

• 1. Check for obstructions: Ensure racks are fully pushed in and no large items are blocking the door from closing completely.
• 2. Inspect latch alignment: Close the door slowly and observe if it engages the strike firmly. Adjust the dishwasher leveling feet so the door aligns squarely with the cabinet.
• 3. Test door switch: If comfortable, remove the inner door panel and test the door switch for continuity when closed. Replace the door lock assembly if defective.

Do not force the door closed; correct the alignment or replace worn parts instead.
