Shut off the house circuit breaker for the dishwasher to disconnect electrical power. Check the power cord connections in the junction box. If your power cord doesn't plug into an electrical outlet, then it’s hardwired into the junction box. If it doesn't light up, have an electrician repair the bad outlet. Check the electrical outlet for power by plugging in a small lamp. If the power cord is plugged in, it’s possible the electrical outlet doesn’t work. If your dishwasher power cord plugs into an electrical outlet, make sure the power cord is plugged in. Some dishwashers have a power cord that plugs into an electrical outlet under the sink, while other are wired directly from the wall to the wires in the junction box. Check the dishwasher now to see if it powers up. Because you often can't tell whether the breaker has tripped, reset the breaker for the dishwasher by shutting it off and turning it back on. Flipping a little switch beside your sink might just fix what you thought was a dead dishwasher. Many dishwashers have a switch, often next to the garbage disposal switch, which you must turn on for the dishwasher to get power.
