Dishwasher will not start; no lights or response on the control panel.

Safety first: Use a qualified person to work on electrical circuits. Always verify power is off before opening electrical enclosures.

Restoring power:

• Check building breaker: Verify the breaker feeding the Champion dishwasher has not tripped. Reset if necessary and observe if it trips again.
• Inspect power cord and terminal block: Open the electrical junction box and check for loose or burned connections. Tighten terminals and replace damaged wires.
• Check internal fuses: Locate any fuses on the control board or in-line holders. Test with a multimeter and replace blown fuses with the correct rating.
• Test main power switch: Verify continuity through the on/off switch when turned on. Replace if faulty.

When to call a technician: If breakers trip repeatedly or wiring damage is found, professional electrical service is required.
