Our fully integrated dishwasher (only 4 yrs old) won't start. It is a Diplomat ADP8242.

The programme button is stuck on the "normal" position, which is the one we always use. It is flashing, as it should be, but when we press it to start the machine it does not start.

Hi, does it bleep twice when you shut the door?
Do you have trouble opening and closing the door at the moment?If so, the lock my have broken its mount in the panel.Look in the panel and see if the plastic clasp is facing out.If not flick with a screwdriver so it does and re try the programme.You will still need a new control panel fitting.They are not expensive.If this does not cure it, it could be water in the base or the pcb.Go for the panel first.All the best.
