Why Brandt VH1542J doesn't start?

T
Toni EstradaAug 15, 2025
Your Brandt Dishwasher might not be starting due to several reasons. First, a fuse might have blown, or the circuit breaker could have tripped; in this case, replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker, and consider removing other appliances from the same circuit. Also, ensure the dishwasher is turned on and the door is securely closed. Check that the power cord is properly plugged into the wall socket, the water supply is connected and turned on, the door is properly latched, and the drain hose is in good condition.
