Your GE dishwasher may not start due to several reasons. First, ensure the door is fully closed and latched. Check that the dishwasher is properly connected to the power supply and that the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Also, make sure the control panel isn't locked (look for a lock icon) and inspect the timer or delayed start settings. If none of these solve the issue, the problem might lie in the door latch or control board, requiring professional assistance.
