Bosch Dishwashers have the best features to offer. But, even the best appliances can start to have technical issues. One of the most common problems is when the dishwasher does not start. Now, this problem may seem common, but fixing it can get troublesome. Therefore, in this piece, we are going to tell you the reasons why your Bosch Dishwasher is not starting and what you can do to fix it.

1. Power Issues: The idea of your appliance not receiving enough power might seem redundant at first. But, it is one of the most common issues that these appliances face. Hence, try to do the following to ensure that your appliance is receiving enough power:

• Ensure that your appliance is properly plugged in.
• Try not to use extension cords as they do not provide the dishwasher with enough power. 
• Confirm whether the power switches are on. 
• Check your home’s circuit breaker box and ensure there are no tripped breakers.

2. Latching the Dishwasher Door: Your Bosch dishwasher will not start if your door is not latched properly. This is done to avoid leaks. Therefore, ensure that the dishwasher door is latched properly. In case either of the latch or switch is broken, it needs to be replaced and cannot be repaired. 

3. Checking the Cycle Settings: There are situations where the dishwasher will not start if an incorrect cycle has been selected. Hence, check your dishwasher manual to find out whether your dishwasher has any child lock setting. It may also happen that your dishwasher has a delayed wash setting.

Take a look at your control panel and check whether it is responsive. If not, it might need to be replaced.

4. Checking the water supply: If your Bosch dishwasher is not receiving the adequate water supply, then it will not start. Therefore, check whether the pipes connecting it to your home’s water supply are proper. Take a look at the hose to ascertain whether there is damage which is causing an impediment in the water flow. 

It can also happen that your inlet valve is faulty. This is the valve which allows the flow of water into your Bosch dishwasher. If this is the case, then your valve might need replacement.

5. Broken Parts: Parts such as the ‘thermal fuse’, ‘timer’ and ‘control panel’ can get faulty and cause the dishwasher to not start. Hence, if you suspect that any of your parts may be broken or faulty, get them replaced. Take the help of an expert to find out whether any parts may be broken.
