Most likely causes
When we get service calls in Brooklyn and Manhattan for this issue, one of these is almost always the culprit:
- Door not fully latched
- Control-lock enabled
- Delay-start engaged
- Failed door switch
- No power — tripped breaker under the sink or GFCI
What to check before calling a professional
Work through these in order. If none resolves the problem, it's time to schedule service.
- Press the door firmly and confirm the click
- Hold the control-lock or Heated-Dry button for 3 seconds to disable
- Cancel any delay
- Verify power at the outlet
