No power after one months usage
New dishwasher was working prerfectly and now it will not power up.
I checked the breaker it's fine and I checked the outlet for power.
The dishwasher will not power up. There was water at the bottom of the tub so I took out the filter removed the water and cleaned out the drain pump.
Still no power. Any suggestions on what to do next?

I see this all the time! Your problem is electrical. 9 times out of 10 you'll find a loose, broken or burnt connection in the junction box. Turn off the breaker first, we're not going to get a shock. Look under the d/w and behind the kick plate. You'll find a small metal box on the right or center. Remove the screw. You'll then find the hard wire connections we're looking for. Take wire nuts off one at a time (so we don't confise them). Inspect carefully. Replace wire nuts and restrip wire ends as nessessary. Test the unit before replacing box and plate, there's a chance you might have missed something. Confirm d/w is working then recover.
