A dishwasher is a necessary household appliance for a modern housewife. This is a complex machine with many programs. It is enough to load the dirty dishes, put the detergent and after a while pull out the clean dishes.
Like any appliances, a kitchen helper can break. If it happens that when you press the "start" button, the dishwasher does not turn on either during operation the dishwasher makes various sounds: buzzing or poppingDo not panic. First you need to check the serviceability yourself, if the problem cannot be fixed on your own, then call a qualified specialist in the field of repair of household appliances.
Common causes of failure
The reasons that the dishwasher does not turn on or immediately turns off after turning on are not lit buttons, displays, there may be several reasons. Some of them can be easily eliminated, but there are reasons that only a qualified specialist can eliminate.
The reason that the dishwasher does not turn on, maybe not at all in household appliances, but in the outlet from which it is powered, so you must first check the health of the outlet. To do this, you can connect any other working device to this power point.
It is also worth checking the condition of the cord for crushing and bending. To understand whether the power cord is broken or not, you need a multimeter device that finds burnt parts of the wire under the insulating layer. Using a multimeter is not difficult, for this we first set the corresponding mode of the ohmmeter, then connect it to the prongs of the machine’s plug and measure the resistance, thus determining the integrity of the wire.
Often the problem is the supply of water to the device. Check if there is water in the apartment, if taps are blocked. It is also necessary to check the hoses that supply water to the machine.
Each dishwasher has a passport, an instruction manual, which describes in detail some of the problems that arise, as well as how to fix them. For example, dishwasher bosch in its instructions, it has a section entitled “What to do in case of a malfunction?”, which describes in detail what messages may appear on the display, a detailed table is given.
If the above reasons are eliminated or absent, and the malfunction persists, you can conduct an independent diagnosis of the device.
List of main causes of a dishwasher malfunction:
- The lock on the door does not work. It should close with a click sound and lock. Necessary right adjust the dishwasher door.
- The “start” button does not work, for example, it goes inward or is unstable.
- Water does not enter the unit.
- The program control unit is faulty.
- Motor or capacitor burned out.
- Clogged filters. All filters must be checked and cleaned if necessary.
- Partially or completely shut off the water supply tap.
This is a list of the most common reasons why the dishwasher does not turn on.
If there is a water leak, then on most devices, for example, such as Ariston or Samsung, as well as the most popular budget car in Russia Indesit, an error code will be displayed on the display. Also one of the most common errors in the dishwasher - this is e03 (long time of warming up water). After looking at the instructions that came with the technique, you can easily decipher what the problem is.

If the capacitor is faulty
Power surges and other negative factors can cause the fuse of an Electrolux car or any other machine to break. Therefore, if the dishwasher does not turn on, and the socket, cord and hose with water supply are checked for serviceability, it is necessary to check the capacitor. If the fuse blows, this is another reason that the dishwasher does not turn on.
To diagnose this important spare part, the machine will have to be disassembled, since the fuses are located under the pan. It is recommended to prepare a rag in advance, since stagnant water may spill out of the equipment. You also need a multimeter to measure resistance.
Procedure:
- remove the front panel under the door of the dishwasher;
- remove the side mounts from the pallet;
- open the door;
- remove the filter and the impeller;
- close the door and turn the equipment over;
- remove the pallet;
- we are looking for a fuse on the circular pump;
- using a multimeter measure resistance.
If a lack of resistance is detected, then the capacitor has failed. It must be removed and buy a similar one. According to the scheme, we put a new fuse in place. If even after these manipulations the dishwasher does not turn on, then you should seek help from the master.
Elimination of internal and external blockages
A blockage may cause the dishwasher to not turn on when you press the start button. A similar problem can be solved without involving a repair technician. There are blockages inside and out.
Outdoor blockage
External blockage can occur in several places:
Drain sewer.
To eliminate it, it is necessary to clean the siphon and sewer pipe in one of the ways:
- mechanical cleaning;
- cleaning with chemicals.
Blockage in the hoses of the dishwasher.
It is necessary to check whether the hoses are pinched or broken. If the hose inside is covered with a coating of lime, then it must be cleaned.
What matters is which detergent is used to wash the dishes. If the product contains a high foaming coefficient, water during operation may fall into the pan, as a result of which the machine will turn off automatically and will not turn on. This mode is called "aquastop." IN in most cases, error e15 is triggered. In this case, remove water from the sump. If you can’t remove it, then you can not use the dishwasher for some time, so that the water is dry, after which the machine can function.
Clogging
Internal pollution is more difficult to detect. The machine is clogged with food debris, hard water, scale. Clogging up in several places:
- internal filter;
- water drainage system;
- intake valve filter;
- the blades.
If the machine stops during operation and water remains inside, you must press the "Drain" button, after which the dishwasher must drain the water on its own. After this, it is absolutely necessary to disconnect the equipment from the mains, remove the remaining water with a sponge or rag. It is recommended to carry out this manipulation with gloves, since glass fragments may appear inside.
Due to the fact that each brand and model of household appliances differs in a set of functions and an arrangement of buttons on the control panel, it is important to read the instruction manual, service book and device passport in advance. The instructions clearly show where the parts of the machine, the mounting points of the filters and other important elements are located. This will help to quickly find the blockage, to eliminate it without damaging the structure.
Here are the most common reasons why the dishwasher does not turn on.Most of them do not require the help of a wizard to eliminate them, you can cope on your own without the use of complex special tools.
