Dishwasher powers on but will not start cycle when Start is pressed; may beep or flash but does nothing.

Safety first: Disconnect power if you need to open the door panel.

• 1. Confirm door closure: Close the door firmly until you hear a click. Ensure racks are not protruding and blocking closure.
• 2. Check child lock: Many Hisense dishwashers have a key or lock icon. Hold the designated button combination (see user manual) for several seconds to disable the child lock.
• 3. Try different program: Select another cycle and press Start to rule out a specific program issue.
• 4. Inspect door latch and switch: If the unit still will not start, remove the inner door panel and check the Hisense latch and switch for damage or misalignment. Replace if worn.
• 5. UI board test: If the Start button does not register or feels unresponsive, the control panel may be faulty and require replacement.
