What PRESS START Means
PRESS START is not an error code, Electrolux’s owner guide stresses. On models that ask it, the door must be closed within 5 seconds of pressing Start or the dishwasher waits and prompts again.
Common Causes of PRESS START
- Door not closed quickly enough after pressing Start
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
Press Start and close the door within five seconds.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- No repair is needed.
- If the dishwasher never starts after closing the door, the latch switch may be the issue.
Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
