Hello Laurent.
My name is Peter. I am a retired field service appliance technician.
I need your model number to help you. It is either on the face of the dishwasher after you open the door or on the side of the door.
In the meantime, turn power to your dishwasher at the breaker box. Wait 20 minutes for your dishwasher circuit system to shut down, then turn the power back on. What we are trying to do is reboot your dishwasher like you would your computer.
You may have to set your delayed start because you have not completed the time setting?
You may have to put the dishwasher on start and just wait until it starts.
I 'am not sure because I do not have your model number.
This is a common problem. Make sure that the machine is working normal (sound of the pump) other then the water is not filling?
The rubber washer has known to come loose from the stop valve under the sink and the washer can block the inlet hose to the dishwasher.
On most dishwashers there is a screen just before the solenoid fill valve that can plug closed preventing the water from entering the machine.
Most likely is the solenoid, as in the image below, has failed. This solenoid vale is manufacturer model specific and needs to be purchased as such.
The replacements needs to be accomplished by a qualified technician.
Hope this has helped?

If you look at the bottom arm you will notice an extension nozzle that comes up out of the center. If you block that from going up during the wash cycle with dishes then the water will not reach the top. This is what makes the top arm spin.
Hello. Your unit is notorious for having heater and/or control problems. If the heater checks good, then the likely cause is a defective control. The heaters, pumps, valves, and other physical devices on dishwashers are controlled by relays mounted on the main control boards. These relays often fail due to age, cheap components, etc. Make sure to also check for an inline thermal switch/fuse--I didn't see one on the schematic I found on the net--heh, it was written in some sort of slavic language so I had to use my knowledge of symbols to interpret the diagram. I hope I helped you!
Hello. First, try to reset the control board. There are 2 buttons with arrows underneath. Press and hold them both for several seconds, maybe a little longer--this will perform a reset on the control board. See if that clears up the problem. Also, are there any lights blinking? Dishwashers will flash error codes(in binary format) by blinking certain lights in a pattern(i.e. The "sensing" light will blink 2 or 3 times, then the "cycle complete" light will blink 2-3-4 times--something like that) It could be any combination of lights depending on the component that has failed or has a problem. Components can be the drain pump, main wash motor, float switch(if present), heater circuit, inlet water valve, flood switch(if present), etc...
Hello. There is a door interlock switch that allows the system to operate only if the door is closed. If this switch has malfunctioned due to age, wiring breakdown, etc, nothing will happen. I am assuming the model number you have is the HDA2000G04 because I saw where you asked the question on another website. If this is indeed the model, the interlock switch, should you need one is WD21X10261. The timer is WD21X10236. This dishwasher is also equipped with a flood switch on the bottom. Remove the kick panel and check to make sure there isn't a leak underneath causing the switch to trip. I hope I helped you!
