Maytag Performa Portable Dishwasher Not Getting Power

Last summer we bought a Maytag Performa portable dishwasher on Craigslist. So far it’s worked flawlessly. The couple we bought it from said that it was maybe 5 years old.

So far everything has been great up until about an hour ago. We loaded the dishwasher, turned on the water, plugged in the power cord and turned the dial to start it and it won’t start. It’s acting as if it’s not getting power at all. It was working just fine earlier this week.

I have tried multiple outlets and have reset the circuit breakers already. I currently have it unplugged for 30+ minutes to see if it will reset itself at all.

Anyone have any suggestions on what might not be working?

Here’s pictures of the front as well as of the Model/Serial numbers:

Could be a number of things but at the top of the list would be a bad line cord or a bad door latch switch.

You will need an ohm meter to be able to troubleshoot this problem efficiently.

Thanks a bunch!
