Hello jmashos- I understand that the “start” button is no longer working however try the following steps to verify if it will help fix the issue. Before performing any maintenance or work on the dishwasher, please disconnect power to the unit! Edges of door may pose a cut hazard, use gloves or heavy cloth when grabbing edges. Remove covering (i.e. outer door, console, kickplate) to access button that is not responding. Is the electrical device connected to the harness? If “YES” loosen the screws on the C-arm, push the door down and tighten the screws to align the door with strike, is the unit a pull latch model. If “YES” then it may possibly need a new angled striker. If “NO” I suggest bending the striker down to align with the center of door slot. If the electrical device is NOT connected to the harness; connect the harness to the electrical device. Replace all coverings and reconnect power to the unit. Put the unit into water service test. Step through test and determine if it will start. In case the steps prove to be ineffective the unit may have a more severe problem like a faulty wiring harness/housing or control board. Contact a professional to move forward accurately.
