We got this dishwasher about 5 years ago and used it maybe a dozen times. The wife prefers washing dished the old fashioned way, paying her friends to do them by hand. It has sat in our basement unused until I decided to clean out the basement and sold it to my neighbor. He hooked it up and it powers on and fills with water, but then doesn't do anything. The display lights up when it's supposed to and we set the knob on delay wash and it turns until it gets to wash, fills with water and stops. I am wondering if it could be a problem with the door lock switch or whatever it's called. This seems like a good place to start and probably the easiest thing to fix for a couple of novices like us. Also, I haven't really looked good at it, but should we remove the top cover to access this? Any help would be great.

Cool thanks, we'll start there. Do you know if we need to go through the side or the bottom? Sorry for the stupid question, but it's at his house and I cant check it out right now, but would like to be prepared tomorrow.

Actually, it's on wheels, a portable type. I remember from yesterday that looked like the place to get access so I know what you are talking about. Thanks for the verification! I'll let you know later what is up.
