Why Won't My Dishwasher Turn On?
Check the supply first: the socket or isolator switch above the worktop, the plug fuse and the distribution board. Built-in dishwashers are often wired to a separate isolator that gets switched off by mistake. If power is reaching the machine, the usual causes are a failed door switch, a thermal fuse, the power button, or a control board damaged when the supply returned after load-shedding.
Our dishwasher repairs technicians test each part with a meter on Bosch, Samsung, LG, Defy, Hisense and every other brand. Book a repair and leave the machine switched off at the wall meanwhile.
Signs the Dishwasher Is Not Switching On

Nothing happens when you press the power button.
Died after a power cut
A surge has often damaged the board or a fuse.
Works only when the door is pressed
A worn door switch or latch.

Common Causes of No Power
- Isolator switch off or socket dead
- Blown plug fuse or tripped circuit
- Failed door switch
- Thermal fuse or power button fault
- Control board damaged by a surge
When to stop using the appliance
Switch the appliance off at the wall if you notice a burning smell, smoke, sparking, exposed wiring, repeated breaker trips or water near electrical parts. Leave electrical covers, high-voltage parts and the heater, motor, pump and anything behind a cover to a technician, then call or WhatsApp 0719 227 718 and we will arrange an assessment.
What Can You Safely Check First?
- Check the isolator switch above the worktop or beside the sink.
- Test the socket with another appliance.
- Check the distribution board for a tripped switch.
- Close the door firmly and press the power button for two seconds.
How We Diagnose a Dead Dishwasher

Frequently Asked Questions About Dishwasher Not Switching On
Why is my dishwasher not turning on?
Check the isolator switch, socket and distribution board first. If those are fine, a door switch, thermal fuse or control board is usually the cause.
My dishwasher stopped working after a power cut. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes. Surges tend to damage the control board or a fuse, which we can test and repair on site. See appliance damage after power cuts.
The lights are on but it will not start. Is that the same fault?
No. Lights mean the machine has power. See dishwasher not starting for door latches, child locks and water supply.
How much does it cost to fix a dishwasher with no power?
A door switch or fuse is affordable, and a control board costs more. We diagnose first and quote before any work starts.
