What this means on this line
When the BDI line refuses a programme, the latch is the first suspect and the control board is the last. These models put the display upstream of the latch switch, which is why a fully lit panel proves so much less than owners expect.
Symptoms on these models
- The cycle starts and stops within a minute — Within this line, a brief start that aborts is a fill or drain precondition rather than a start fault, and it points at the water side.
- The machine beeps when the start button is pressed but does nothing — An acknowledged press with no action is the control refusing the cycle, which is a lock or precondition state and not a failed button.
- A delay indicator is lit — The programme has been accepted and deferred, so the machine is behaving correctly and will start later than expected. Every model in this family behaves this way.
- NEAR MISS: the machine runs but the load stays dirty — That is a cleaning fault, and the cleaning-performance page for this family covers it.
Why it happens, in order
- The door is closed but not latched — First on the BDI line by a wide margin. A protruding handle, a tall item in the upper rack or a slightly sagging door stops the latch engaging, and the panel still lights because the display is upstream of the latch switch. That is true of every model this family spans.
- No supply at the socket or a tripped breaker — Second because it is free to check and because a dishwasher shares its circuit with other kitchen loads often enough for an unrelated appliance to have tripped it. That holds across every model this page covers.
- Child lock or control lock armed — A lock arms with a long press and is easily set by accident during cleaning. The panel then acknowledges a press and refuses the cycle, which reads exactly like a failed start button.
- A delay start left set from a previous cycle — These models keep a selected delay through a door open and close, so a machine that was set overnight and then reopened appears dead when it is simply counting down.
- A failed supply component inside the door panel — Last because it cannot be confirmed without stripping the door and because everything upstream of it is free to check. It is suspected only when the socket is proven and the panel stays dark.
What to check first, second, third
- Press the door firmly shut and listen for the latch — First because it is the most common cause on the BDI line and because the latch makes an audible click when it engages that a nearly-closed door does not. It does not vary across the models listed on this page.
- Look for a protruding item in either rack — A handle through the upper basket or a tall board in the lower one holds the door a few millimetres proud, which is enough to stop the latch and invisible from the front.
- Check the socket with something else — Third, because it separates the appliance from the circuit in seconds and because a shared kitchen circuit is tripped by other loads more often than by the dishwasher. The same is true of each model covered here.
- Power the machine down for a few minutes and retry — A control that has latched into an error state clears on a full power cycle, which distinguishes a transient fault from a failed component.
- Press the door firmly while pressing start — If the cycle begins, the latch switch is marginal and the diagnosis is complete without any tool at all.
Before anything comes apart
Safety
Power down at the breaker first. A circuit that trips every time the machine is started is reporting an electrical fault, and repeated resetting is not a diagnostic step.

When this becomes a service call
Book a visit if the appliance trips the household circuit on any attempt to start, or if there is any smell of burning at the door edge or the base. This applies to the whole line rather than to one model.
