After a power outage our dishwasher wouldn’t turn on at all. Andrew explained exactly what happened, reset the control board, and made sure nothing was damaged. The dishwasher worked perfectly again. Honest, fast service.

Power outages are common in Eastvale, especially during storms or electrical maintenance. Unfortunately, many homeowners discover an unexpected problem afterward: the dishwasher won’t start, won’t respond to buttons, or appears completely dead.

In this recent Eastvale service call, a homeowner contacted us after their dishwasher stopped working immediately following a power outage. The display was unresponsive, and the unit would not start any cycle.

Why won’t my dishwasher turn on after a power outage?

Modern dishwashers rely on electronic control boards. When power is suddenly lost and restored, voltage spikes can cause the board to freeze or enter protection mode.

  • Control board locked or frozen
  • Internal safety fuse triggered
  • Power surge affecting electronics
  • Door latch signal not resetting

Can a power outage damage a dishwasher?

Yes, power outages and surges can affect dishwashers, but permanent damage is not always the case. Many units simply need a proper reset.

What we found during this Eastvale repair

Our technician Andrew confirmed proper power supply, then inspected the control board. The board had entered a locked protection state due to the surge.

How we fixed the dishwasher

The repair involved a professional control board reset, electrical inspection, and test cycle. After resetting, the dishwasher powered on and completed a full wash cycle.

Will the dishwasher resume after a power outage?

In many cases, yes. If not, professional diagnosis is recommended.

How to reset a dishwasher that won’t turn on

  • Turn off the breaker
  • Wait 5–10 minutes
  • Restore power and test

Today I had my refrigerator and my dishwasher repaired by Dennis. He did an amazing job. This company is wonderful because they were able to get me seen on the same day I called to request service, which was super convenient. Dennis was super friendly and walked me through the whole process and even showed me how to use my icemaker! I’ll definitely be using them again referring them to all my friends and family. Thanks again.

Igor was fantastic! He kept us informed throughout the process, provided a clear price estimate upfront, and quickly fixed our GE front-loading washer. His professionalism and expertise were top-notch. I’ll definitely call IK Service for any future appliance repairs and will be recommending them to my neighbors and friends. It’s great to support a local, family-owned business that delivers such honest and reliable service!

Although it took 3 trips to install my washer, the 2 technicians, esp Dennis, did a fabulous job. Thanks for taking such good care of my appliances and doing all the extra little tasks I had you do.  I really wanted to give you 5 stars…but it did take 3 days to install 1 appliance.  But I would definitely call again use your service again and recommend you to my friends.

My experience with IK Service was fantastic. I called because my washing machine had stopped working. Within 2 hours, they had a technician, Igor, at my house to look at the problem. Igor was very kind and respectful and showed me what the problem was. Though I did not end up moving forward with repairs (the motor was dead and the replacement piece was very expensive because of how old the washer it), I would 100% use IK Service again if I had another appliance issue. Definitely recommend due to speed, communication, and customer service.The technician Viktor was quick,knows what he was doing and was able to finish the job in a few minutes.
