Dishwasher trouble shooting

Fam, hopefully someone can help me. My fucking dishwasher won’t turn on. I held down the start and the power button separately for more than 10 seconds, flipped the breaker on the circuit box, took the door apart to see if the wiring and circuitry was fucked up or loose, everything checked out. To my knowledge.
I’m not an appliance pro but I’m resourceful and still can’t figure this shit out. There is absolutely no power at all. Suggestions?

Not a pro with dish washer but I fix all kinds of appliances and machines and vehicles for a living. I'd use a multi meter to verify there is no voltage source first. Also look for a blown ceramic fuse, it'll be black if blown. Troubleshooting will be difficult if you don't know how to use a multi meter, a decent one too preff auto ranging and costing more than 10$. And be very careful to avoid electrocution, it sucks.

Sounds like a new dishwasher is in order. Those things crap out over time.
How old is it?

2-3. I may have to but I would hate to buy a new dishwasher if all it is is unplugged in the back. Haha. Damnit...

Thats not old at all.
It could be a loose wire nut. Have you checked the wiring box thing at the bottom of the washer?

No I haven’t... I’m definitely not knowledgeable of appliance repairs. I’m going to when I get home though. Is it easily visible?

google your model op itll show you where to look. I seriously doubt a wire nut came loose. Be careful dealing with electricity especially if you dont understand it.

The bottom panel is easily visible as its under the door and is as wide as the door. Were you able to gain clearance to pull the unit out?

Yeah turn off the power to the kitchen from the breaker panel before proceding. Forgot to mention that part!
