Dishwasher does not switch on, does not start a cycle, does not automatically open the door at the end of a cycle

Issue

• Dishwasher does not turn on, does not start the program
• The dishwasher does not automatically open the door at the end of the program
• Dishwasher door does not close

Resolution

1. Level the dishwasher and check that the diamond goes in the middle of the door lock arms.

2. Open the door slightly and gently bend the top of the dishwasher so that the diamond is at the level of the lock (see illustration below).

Bend the top of the cabinet very carefully to ensure that the door can close correctly.

If the described problem persists despite the correct installation of the dishwasher, please refer to the article describing potential causes and solutions for a dishwasher that will not start the cycle: Dishwasher does not / will not start but the power is on
