  If your ECG dishwasher program isn't starting, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the power cord is properly plugged into the outlet and that your house fuses or circuit breakers are in working order. Next, verify that the water supply is open and that the dishwasher door is fully closed. Also, make sure you've pressed the power button. Lastly, check the dishwasher filters and the water inlet filter to ensure they aren't clogged.

Also, check that you're using enough detergent and the correct washing program. Clean any food residue from the spray arms and make sure the filters are clean and correctly installed.
