Not working. When I went to use last, the dryight indicator was on. Let sit gor over 30 mins. No change. Turned power out for 3 mins from circuit box. Did twice and dry light still on. Cleaned latch and inside dishwasher. Turned off power one more time and now I do not have any power indicator lights on. Like its dead. Any suggestions? I am poor and have no money to purchase a new one.

Likely a problem with the program switch or the door switch, if you’re handy and wanna open it all up you can look for bad wiring connections on the door switch or the door switch itself.

When you latch the door and press one of the cycle buttons there’s a mechanical system that pops the button back out when you open the door does the button still pop out nicely when you open the door?

There is also a little pen on the upper right hand corner of the tank that presses into our opening on the door to activate the door switch make sure that pin is in place and making the switch click as you push the door closed all the way.

Other than these things it’s hard to make suggestions without knowing your mechanical ability etc.

Good luck and let us know what you find.

John
