Crosley Dishwasher won't start

If your Crosley dishwasher won't start, the most common causes are a blown thermal fuse, a bad door switch, or a damaged wire harness that is not sending power where it needs to go. A broken door latch is next on the list, since the dishwasher has to sense the door is fully closed before it will run. After that, the main control board and even the drain pump can keep a dishwasher not starting, especially if the unit cannot complete its normal pre-fill drain step. If your Crosley dishwasher has power but will not start, or the start button seems to work but nothing happens, these are the parts to check first. Testing a thermal fuse or door switch with a multimeter can quickly narrow things down, and a visual inspection may reveal frayed wires in the wire harness or a latch not catching properly. RepairClinic.com makes it easier to match the fix to your exact machine. Enter your model number to find the exact Crosley replacement part, whether you need a thermal fuse, door switch, wire harness, door latch, main control board, or drain pump.

01 - Crosley Dishwasher Thermal Fuse

The thermal fuse shuts off power to the dishwasher if it overheats. If the thermal fuse blows, it will prevent the dishwasher from starting. To determine if the thermal fuse is defective, use a multimeter to test the fuse for continuity. If the thermal fuse does not have continuity, replace it.

02 - Crosley Dishwasher Door Switch

The door switch prevents the dishwasher from running while the door is open. If the door switch is defective, the switch will prevent the dishwasher from running even when the door is closed. To determine if the door switch is at fault, use a multimeter to test the switch for continuity. If the switch does not have continuity, replace it.

03 - Crosley Dishwasher Wire Harness

If the dishwasher start button appears to work, but the dishwasher still won't start, a wire harness which sends power from the control board to the pump components could be damaged. Inspect the wire harness for any frayed or broken wires and replace if necessary.

04 - Crosley Dishwasher Door Latch

The door latch ensures that the dishwasher door latches shut. If the door does not latch properly, the door switch might prevent the dishwasher from running. If the door latch is broken, replace it.

05 - Crosley Dishwasher Main Control Board

The main control board provides power to nearly every component of the dishwasher. If there is a problem with the main control board, it might not send voltage to the dishwasher, causing the dishwasher not to start. Control boards are often misdiagnosed—make sure you check more commonly defective parts before replacing the main control board.

06 - Crosley Dishwasher Drain Pump

A dishwasher drain pump assists in removing the water from the tank at various times during operation. Since the unit will drain some water from the tank prior to the fill cycle beginning, a faulty drain pump unable to drain any water could prevent the dishwasher from starting.
