The troubleshooting in this video was thorough and started with the most common, minor issues first instead of jumping into analyzing the dishwasher parts. Awesome and practical. Thank you!
Wayne, thank you so much for your help and step-by-step guidance. My young son and I just moved into our new home. I freaked out when my fully loaded dishwasher would not start. Thanks to your video we determined it was #2. My son yelled, "Mom, it wasnt plugged in all the way. Try it now!" And low and behold, the dishwasher started. Thanks Wayne and Sears for looking out for families. 👍🤗👏
Within the first 30 seconds of the video I thought “I bet it is the switch” turned on the switch and the dishwasher worked!! Great video…super useful! Thank you Wayne!
My good sir, you have solved my problem in the first 30 seconds of this video lol. I'm so glad I found this, rather than attempting to replace a fuse that didn't even need to be messed with. Thank you!!
I had a power surge yesterday, and today, the dishwasher wasn't showing any power. I checked the circuit breaker and turned it on and off. I checked the power cord and it was firmly plugged in; however, I pulled out the plug and plugged it back in anyway. Unplugging it reset the dishwasher. It's working now! Yay!!!
Thank you. It was not any of the points that were mentioned but it gave me a method to debug. For me it was the switch that is turned on, by being pressed inward by the latch ( the latch that locks the dishwasher). This is an old model. I am impressed how long this has been running. The housing of the switch broke off from the inner panel. I taped the housing ( of the switch ) with duct tape after making sure it is lined with with the latch. Now it works.
Hahah, within 29 seconds you helped me out. I just moved into this house from another one and it has a switch above it that turns it on or off. It was off and I couldn't find out why the dishwasher wasn't getting power. My dishwasher at my old house didn't have a switch.
I was about ready to open up the control panel to change fuses like the other videos and then this fine man tells me to check the switch on the wall which was off. I felt like an idiot but he save me a lot of time and energy thank you
The plug-in under the sink was sticking out about a centimeter, and was likely knocked loose by the weight attached to the spray hose attachment, since it comes into contact with the dishwasher power cord. Never knew they plugged in under the sink! Thanks for the tips!
Thank you!! Love it when I can fix it myself! I had checked the circuit breaker and the junction box... it was simply a loose wire!! Score!! Very clear, direct and to the point video!! Excellent!!
My issue was the door switch not making up when I closed the door. At 2:11 minutes into this video, he talks about the user interface control wire harness. This is where I found my problem. There are several videos on CZcams that show replacing a fuse in this harness/control panel. My fuse was okay but the door switch is inline just before the fuse. The door switch was okay but had become misaligned to the point to where it wasn't doing its job. Just going through the process of taking things apart and putting them back together, I tightened and realigned everything and when done I had been successful in restoring power to the control panel and was back in business. Lucky me. 😃
Wow! This worked. Had to reconnect wires at the bottom of dishwasher. Weird that they would come undone so I wasn't optimistic along with my poor fix it skills. Thank you.
Thank you, Thank you , THANK YOU KIND SIR ! New house, dishwasher had no power, and your first suggestion just saved us hundreds in a service call. So happy you saved the day here and we now have a functioning machine. Thank you ! !
I’m an idiot. I had no idea there was a separate switch for the dishwasher. I’d kiss this guy on the mouth. He just saved me a lot of time and a few hundred dollars
Wow within the first minute I found out that my "broke" dishwasher had a light switch. I guess that makes sense why that one never turned on a light, the more you know 😂. Very helpful thank you
You just saved me alot of 💰 money..I'm so thankful that I found your video😁I went to start my dishwasher and had no power..it was the switch beside my garbage disposal switch that Ive been wondering what it was for since I've lived here lol😂 definitely makes me feel not so smart 😅lol..Thank you so much for sharing this
We're glad to hear that you found the cause of the problem and that our video helped. Sometimes the fix is easy with the right help. Thanks for letting us know what you found.
Thank you sir!! Our switch was off too. We didn’t even know it had a designated switch! Good thing is that it was an easy fix, the sad part is that my wife won’t be getting a new dishwasher. Lol
Lol first time using the dishwasher and we thought it was not working properly.. then we watched this video and we make it work because the switch was off and we didn't know that switch was there lol 😅🤣
If you had a problem with the vent cap on the door falling off then your problem is likely the user interface board inside the door. My cap kept falling off and allowed steam/moisture in the door and fried the board.
Thanks for posting this video! My issue was the hot wire for the appliance power cord had not been wire-nutted on properly and it came loose mid-cycle three weeks after installation. Thanks to this vid I was able to fix it quickly! :)
Had a maintenance guy fix my garbage disposal and the dishwasher didn't work after. All I needed to do was flip the switch by the garbage disposal. 1 second fix after being down for a while. Lol
Thank you VERY much....you just saved me $100. Had no power, reset the breaker, checked switches and then found the cord under the sink had worked it's way out....
This video was very well-made, informative, and concise. Though it wasn't quite representative of my dishwasher, it did give me some ideas that eventually got it to work.
This video was so helpful!!!! All I needed to do was flip the little switch besides the garbage disposal haha!!! Thanks for the video I was so worried because I am at work and thought I broke their dish washer lol thanks for the video! 🙏🏽
Thank you for the video I was able to fix my dishwasher by reconnecting the wires underneath in the junction box. There were burned with connector. Not sure why. But now it works. My only concern why one set with the connector burned?
You didn't mention anything about the thermal fuse. Majority of the time, that is the problem with having no power. Easy repair, costs about $25 for the fuse.
@@Richiban40 , if your facing the dishwasher, its in the control board area a bit to the right side of the door . I cant post a photo on here or else I would. If you just enter "dishwasher thermal fuse" into a google search engine, there are plenty of videos on how to find and replace it. I'm a DIY amateur and I found the fuse on mine. The funny thing is that I watched another you-tube video on here and the guy said take the fuse out and bang it against something hard like a concrete floor, or hit it with a hammer... so I tried it and put it back in and it worked just fine! No need to replace it, although I found one on Amazon for $7 so I ordered one for back up just in case.
Dale Carns I saw the same video and from what I was seeing on my circuit board, there was nothing that resembled a fuse, I’ll check again this week, thanks in advance for tips. I’m dreading to replace this dishwasher!
I suggest closely following any wires you see because two wires have connectors that slide right onto the fuse. The fuse is about the size of a dime with spade terminals coming right off of it that wires hook to.
I have a ge dishwasher and went to their website for advice on our dishwasher problem. Their information was crap. Y’all trouble shot everything there was. Thanks.
My Kenmore 630 keeps shower E24 error code. Filter, hoses & pipes have all been cleaned. Sometimes it takes 10 times before it’ll start, a few times it starts the first time I try. 😣
Wow, turns out there was a switch on the side of the sink. The thing is, the dishwasher and food/sink disposal are connnected to the same sockets. There is only one switch. Turning on the switch turns on the food disposal and dishwasher. So I just disconnected the food disposal. That was definitely a poor design. They needed to more switches. Thank you sir.
Shouldn’t a repair person, with 43 years experience, know to check to see if your dishwasher even has an electrical switch (as I’m told some dishwashers do and some don’t have that switch)? I just paid $200 to my warranty company to find out that there was a switch for the dishwasher underneath my kitchen sink that was accidentally turned off. I had made a claim for my dishwasher not turning on. So, the repairman comes and checks everything out….doesn’t turn on. Then he hooks up is own electric source and it turns on. So he says it’s not a dishwasher problem, that it is an electrical problem and I need to call an electrician. Ok, so I put a claim in for electrical wiring. In comes the electrician and within 5 minutes she finds the switch underneath my sink and switches it on and boom, dishwasher works! So I had to pay two $100 deductibles to find out that the switch was accidentally turned off. So I called the dishwasher guy and let him know what the electrician found…his response was “in all my 43 years of experience I have never seen a switch for a dishwasher”. So now I’m in negotiations to get reimbursed one of those $100 deductibles.
you left out the most common solution to the problem. 1.Turn breaker off 2. check Fuse/s with an Ohm meter. (No live voltage check to do so) and what are the odds the wire harness inside the door could possibly get unplugged? Dishwasher gremlins maybe? Bad fuse - call the service technician who will most probably replace the control board ($80-$220 on average)
I love the comment here lol, super positive. I sadly am trying to find out if my problem is the interface board or the main board but at least I know I'm headed the right direction.
Here is a mystery. We had a thunderstorm. Day later the dishwasher won't start. I unplugged the dishwasher cord under the sink and re plugged it. Nothing. I finally flipped the garbage disposal switch to the "on" position. Power came back on to dishwasher! Mind you we don't have a garbage disposal. If we did, the garbage disposal would be running all the time while the dishwasher is running for 2.5 hours.... So WHY is the dishwasher now all of a sudden connected to this obsolete garbage disposal switch? The switch was always in the "off" position before.
That's a mystery that only an electrician may be able to explain. Many homes have a light switch for the dishwasher beside the light switch for the garbage disposal. Although you assert that the switch was always turned off, there is a possibility that it was in the "on" position. Because the dishwasher now works with that switch in the "on" position, you'll likely be able to continue using the dishwasher and you can ignore the mystery. I hope this helps. If you need further assistance, let us know.

I read this comment, and I was a non-believer until I too realize I have my washer plugged into the switch for the disposal.
Yes sir. First 30 seconds!
same!! the breaker switch!
Don't worry he doesn't bother to tell you about the fuse.

fixed my issue in 30 seconds lol, I never knew there could be a switch and I've been in 5 houses with dishwashers
Yes!!!! Took off the access panel at the very bottom of the unit. Found a loose wire. Save me $200 in having someone come out.

Thank you! My circuit breaker had tripped and I would’ve never thought unless you mentioned it.
You saved me an embarassing call to a repair man. Turns out it was a loose power plug. Thanks!
And it was the darn switch, thanks for that first advice. It's seems its always the little things.
OMFG I own this house for 4 years and always thought the switch was redundant, it turns out it was for the dishwasher machine. IT WAS THE SWITCH.
I had a broken wire nut. 10 cents and 1 hour to casually fix. Thank you!
Thanks for posting this video! My issue was the hot wire for the appliance power cord had not been wire-nutted on properly and it came loose mid-cycle three weeks after installation. Thanks to this vid I was able to fix it quickly! :)

Thanks for letting us know what you found. We're glad to hear that our video helped you.
Wayne, as soon as i saw that glorious beard i knew you would help fix our dishwasher. And you did! Thanks wayne!
Maybe the greatest dishwasher video of all time. Thanks, Mr. Sears buddy.
Thank you. I just fixed my dishwasher following your instructions. The problem was a loose wire inside the door.
So that is what that useless switch is for!!! Thank you nice sir! Solved my issue in 30 seconds, now that’s a good video
LOL 30 seconds?? I found salvation within the 1st 20 seconds , but seriously thank you so much man
You helped me fix it! I just had to flip the breaker switch back on. Thank you so much.
Did u use gloves or just your bare hands??
Snowball bare hands 😬
I fixed the problem in the first 30 seconds of the video....wow!....im dumb 😂
I didn't know the dishwasher had a switch

Thank you good sir. Turns out I needed to turn on power for my dishwasher.
dude you've helped me fix my dishwasher AND my oven! king wayne 👑
Thank you for skipping checking the internal fuse, I went straight to replacing the circuit board...not
Nice video. I still had to get a service man in, but this got me through the easy stuff quickly.
We ❤ you Wayne. Fixed my problem in the first 15 seconds 😅
God bless you sir! You just fixed my 2 problems!!!!
Ended a lot of frustration in 26 seconds, thank you sir!
I only watched 30 seconds and you solved my problem,thank you so much!😊
Thank you for the video I was able to fix my dishwasher by reconnecting the wires underneath in the junction box. There were burned with connector. Not sure why. But now it works. My only concern why one set with the connector burned?

Thanks for the positive feedback on our troubleshooting advice. We're glad to hear that you liked our video.
Thanks! It was just the light switch
It was my switch on the wall.... Flipped it. Lol!! Thanks Wayne!
Wayne Bro... excellent vid. 'Fixed'.
Wow you just saved me a new dishwasher with that switch tip haha! Thanks man!
Thank you for simple reminders that solved the problem!
You are my hero. Sometimes you just gotta get reminded to check the basics haha.
The breaker tripped and just needed to rest it. Thank you Sir!

Wow, with just this video, I was able to fix my dishwasher. Amazing. (It was the junction box.) Thanks!
Thank you, sir! I went outside and reset my power switch and guess what?
THE LIGHTS WENT ON!
you solved my problem in the first 33 seconds of the video
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO
Wow my switch was off, solved in first 30 seconds 🤦🏾♂️ thanks sir lol
I'm so grateful for this.
Thank you, kind sir! Just fixed my unit and the wife is very happy!
Why dint she fix it?
All I had to do was flip the switch on lol ......Thank you, Very helpful!!!!
Any ideas on which of these is most likely the issue if the Dishwasher randomly gets power and randomly loses it?

You fixed my problem. God bless you good man!
Excellent troubleshooting video thank you very much 😁.
It was the circuit breaker! Thank you!
Alright so weird thing, the switch that is turning it on is the garbage disposal. Any comments or help?
this guy is a rockstar.
All I need to do was cut the switch on and off from the power box , thanks !
