Door Latch Assembly
The dishwasher will not initiate any cycle if the control board does not detect a closed circuit from the door switch. Over time, the plastic housing or the internal microswitch fails, preventing the safety signal from reaching the board even if the door feels closed. Replacing this assembly restores the electrical path necessary to permit the 'Start' command.

Main Control Board
The main electronic control board (ECB) manages all timing and power distribution. If the dishwasher is unresponsive to a hard reset (power cycle), the board has likely suffered a component failure on the relay circuit or a software corruption following a power surge. This part is the 'brain' of the unit and is the standard resolution for units that have power but refuse to cycle.

Dishwasher Touchpad and Control Panel
On this model, the 'Start' button is a capacitive or membrane-style switch. If other buttons respond but 'Start' does not, or if the panel remains dark while the thermal fuse is intact, the interface assembly has likely failed due to steam intrusion or trace corrosion. Replacing the panel restores the user's ability to send the start signal to the main board.
