Sears Home Services recommendations for a dishwasher that is not turning on

When the dishwasher is not turning on it can be for many reasons. To avoid replacing unneeded parts we recommend having a Sears Home Services professional perform diagnostic tests to identify the root cause of the problem. Our technicians are experienced at diagnosing all types of dishwasher failures.

What to look out for with a dishwasher not turning on diagnosis

Diagnosing modern appliances without proper knowledge and training can be difficult. Without using proper diagnostic techniques, fixing your dishwasher problem will only be achieved through changing parts on a hunch. Appliances, especially in the last 10 years, have become extremely advanced, and many models have electronic parts that are difficult to test. DIY repairs on the latest appliance models are becoming increasingly difficult.

Samsung Dishwasher Will Not Turn On

Check the light switch beside the garbage disposal light switch next to the sink. Most homes have this light switch for the dishwasher installed that shuts off power to the dishwasher when that switch is turned off. Turn that switch on if you find it turned off and your Samsung dishwasher should turn on.

If that light switch is turned on and your Samsung dishwasher will not turn on, check the power cord under the sink to make sure the dishwasher power cord is securely plugged in. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet if you find it partially or fully unplugged.

If your Samsung dishwasher still will not turn on, check the dishwasher electrical outlet for power. Plug a night light or similar small item into the outlet to check for power. If the dishwasher electrical outlet is dead, reset the house circuit breaker for the dishwasher outlet. If the outlet is still dead after resetting the breaker, have an electrician fix the electrical outlet.

If these basic troubleshooting tips don’t help you fix the problem with your Samsung dishwasher that will not turn on, a wiring failure, bad electronic control board or defective control panel could be causing the failure. Schedule dishwasher repair service and we’ll send an experienced appliance technician to your home to find and fix the problem with your Samsung dishwasher.
