The short version
Nothing happening at all points at the door circuit, the control state or the supply, and all three are free to check before anything is opened. On an Ecozy dishwasher the order that matters is this: "A worn or misaligned latch" first, then the rest of the list below. On a slim-profile machine the pump, the heater and the board are packed together, so one wet failure often presents as another.
What you actually observe
- The panel lights but nothing ever starts — The control is alive and is waiting for the door. Whether it happens constantly or in bursts changes the answer.
- The panel is completely dark — No power is reaching the control.
- Recent plumbing work was done under the sink — The valve is the first thing to check afterwards. Check whether it happens every time or only sometimes.
- NEAR MISS — a lock or clock symbol is showing — That symbol is the answer. If that is your Ecozy dishwasher, the bottom of the ranking below is where to start — and this may not be the nearest page for it.
Causes, most likely first on an Ecozy dishwasher
- Door latch not making its switch — Most likely on this platform. It ranks first because the machine will refuse to do anything at all until the latch tells the control the door is shut. It belongs at this position on an Ecozy dishwasher and would move on a different platform.
- No power at the machine — Second. A completely dark panel is a supply question and nothing else until the supply is proved.
- Water supply shut off at the stop valve — Third. It ranks here because a machine that has started and found no water may sit apparently idle rather than announce a fault. Judge it against the timeline: when did the Ecozy dishwasher start doing this?
- The machine is waiting on a timer — Least likely, and the most expensive. It is free to eliminate and it accounts for a surprising share of no-start calls.
Check in this order, and why
- To begin: Close the door firmly and listen for the latch to seat. — It costs nothing, and every check below it is read wrongly if this one was never done on an Ecozy dishwasher.
- Then: Note whether the panel lights at all when the door is closed. — It splits the middle of the Ecozy dishwasher ranking and needs nothing but your eyes and ears.
- And third: Listen for the fill valve opening at the start of the cycle. — Worth doing only once the two checks above on the Ecozy dishwasher are clean.
Owner-side checks, in order
- Close the door with deliberate pressure and start again — A machine that starts when the door is pressed has a latch or strike problem, not a control problem.
About 10 min
- Check the breaker and any switch serving the machine — Many installations put the dishwasher on a switch beside the sink; it is easy to knock.
About 10 min
- Listen for the fill at the start of a cycle — Silence at the fill stage is a water question, not a motor question.
About 15 min
- Stop before anything that means working on a live circuit — On an Ecozy dishwasher the owner checks end at observation; a diagnosis that needs instruments belongs to a technician.
Safety first, and it is not a formality
Safety
The order of operations on an Ecozy dishwasher starts with isolation. Unplug the appliance or switch off its breaker before removing any panel. A capacitor can hold a charge after the power is off. Turn the water off at the stop valve before touching a hose or a fitting. Sponge standing water out before you reach into the sump, and wear a glove: broken glass in a sump is the most common injury on this appliance. No check on this page requires the machine to be running with a panel removed.
When to call a technician
Here is the condition that ends the owner side of an Ecozy dishwasher diagnosis. If the repair needs a panel off, or the machine energised while it is open, it is a service call. Filters, hoses, seals and settings are owner territory; pumps, elements and boards are not.

What this page does not cover
This is the general Ecozy dishwasher page, and it says so deliberately — a family or model page beats it wherever one exists. If a model-level page covers your unit, go there: it is more specific, and this page is the fallback rather than the destination. Until a more specific Ecozy dishwasher page exists the answer stays here — generalized, never withheld. This page carries no part numbers, no wiring detail and no model-specific measurements, because those are only true of one family and this page covers a class.
