This can be very frustrating, especially on a brand-new dishwasher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, it\u2019s only a temporary issue in most cases, and I have found several proven methods to fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am confident that if you follow each of these solutions, one of them will work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also Check:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easilyfixit.com\/siemens-dishwasher-beeping\/\">Siemens Dishwasher Beeping<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Siemens_dishwasher_wont_start\"><\/span>Siemens dishwasher won&#8217;t start<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If your Siemens dishwasher is not starting, you first need to check the power socket. Make sure it is getting power and the breaker is not tripped. If the breaker is tripped, don\u2019t turn it on before finding the root cause that caused the breaker tripping. Also, check the junction box and ensure that the power cables are not loose or burnt.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, there are times when the above solution does not fix the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that\u2019s the case, try the other troubleshooting methods mentioned below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_the_Water_Supply\"><\/span>Check the Water Supply<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, your Siemens dishwasher may not run when there is no water inside it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the water connection and ensure water flows from the sink outlet to your dishwasher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, check that the water valve is opened to ensure the proper flow of water to the dishwasher, and that its drain function is properly working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_Child_Lock\"><\/span>Check Child Lock<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most modern Siemens dishwashers come with a child lock that prevents children from starting or stopping the dishwasher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the child lock is enabled, your Siemens dishwasher won\u2019t start. So make sure the child lock is turned off to start your dishwasher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Properly_Close_the_Dishwasher_Door\"><\/span>Properly Close the Dishwasher Door<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Siemens dishwasher door will not close properly unless it is lined up correctly. If the door is not securely closed, the dishwasher will not start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check for any dishes or racks blocking the door and fix them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the door is properly closed and latched, try turning it On again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reset_your_Dishwasher\"><\/span>Reset your Dishwasher<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If none of the above works, restoring factory settings on your Siemens dishwasher is time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, resetting your Siemens dishwasher is very easy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your <meta http-equiv=\"content-type\" content=\"text\/html; charset=utf-8\">Siemens dishwasher is not starting, don\u2019t panic, and try the following troubleshooting methods to fix it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Check the water supply<\/li><li>Check child lock <\/li><li>Properly close the dishwasher door <\/li><li>Reset your dishwasher<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you still have issues with your Siemens dishwasher, contact <a href=\"https:\/\/www.siemens-home.bsh-group.com\/service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Siemens customer support<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1420,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.13 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Siemens Dishwasher Won&#039;t Start (Try THIS Fix First)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"If your Siemens dishwasher is not starting, you first need to check the power socket.
