So I just purchased a new dishwasher yesterday and followed the instructions to a tee for set up. I also made sure to pay particular attention to the setup of the old one I was removing.

After I connected the water, drainage and direct wire and ground, I tried to start it up......nothing. I was not getting any power. The water was on, the hookups were correct (white/white, black/black, and Ground/Green Screw) but still I was getting nothing.

The old dishwasher did receive power, but essentially died, plus was very old and needed to be replaced. So I know the power works through the lines.

I did realize though, after the fact, that I did not shut off the breaker for the dishwasher power supply when I pulled the old one out and installed the new one. Dodge a shock or two I guess. I realized this after I checked to see if the breaker was tripped. It wasn't.

Can anyone shed any light on why a brand new out of the box dishwasher is not working?

Keep in mind:
Breaker is good.
Wires are connected correctly
Water is on and connected.
Drain is connected.

Thanks in advance.

Could not find info on this unit on this site. It is probably too new.
Here is the parts breakdown for a DU1055XTST2, it is probably close to yours.
Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL DU1055XTST2 | AppliancePartsPros.com

You have probably already checked to be sure that the power hookup is OK. If possible check it with a meter.

Check for any loose wires, this is always a possibility.

Check to be sure that the door is closing properly.

Looking at the parts breakdown you will see a Bi-metal Item 5 in the Control Panel Parts section. This is a thermal fuse but it can also blow with a current surge. Perhaps it is blown.

There is always a possibility that the unit was defective when you received it.

I am always reluctant to start taking apart a new unit as you do not want to void the warranty.
