The dishwasher may beep, ignore commands, auto-select options or refuse to start because the control detects one or more keys being permanently pressed. First confirm the behaviour at the panel: power the dishwasher on and observe if any button appears “active” without being touched (for example, a cycle option that immediately lights and won’t deselect, or constant beeping as if a key is being held). Then, press each physical button one by one and verify that it moves freely and returns to its original position. Check if any button feels physically stuck in the down position or has poor travel.

Likely cause: Power outage, circuit breaker trip, or internal short circuit
Check that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Verify the unit is receiving 120V/240V at the outlet. Reset power at breaker for 30 seconds. If the breaker trips again, there is a short circuit that needs professional diagnosis.
Difficulty: Moderate Repair
Consider calling a professional for this repair.
