Then look at the display on the top edge of the door for a delay start: 1H or 2H means the machine is waiting on purpose, which is not a problem and reads exactly like one. ### What it usually means, by the kind of Monogram appliance Monogram sells one appliance in several forms, and the same behavior points at different things on each of them. A built-in side-by-side and an integrated column are not the same service situation, and a dual-fuel range and an induction range fail in different halves. - **Panel-ready doors** — A heavy custom panel on springs sized for it. When they weaken the door drops fast, the latch stops engaging cleanly, and the machine refuses to run. - **Stainless doors** — No panel weight, so the latch itself or its switch is the more likely half. - **After a power cut** — PF on the display simply means the supply was interrupted — select a cycle and press start and it runs normally. ### Why an integrated machine hides this There is no light, no beep you would notice from across the room, and no visible control panel. A machine that has refused to start and a machine that has finished look identical. The top edge of the door is where the appliance is trying to tell you something, and it is worth checking before you assume anything has failed. A delay start that somebody set The machine is waiting deliberately. Free to rule out and genuinely common. The door latch Engaging mechanically without closing the circuit, which reads as a dead appliance. Door springs or cables A door that falls open rather than staying where you put it has tired springs, and that is what wears the latch. The detergent cup is not latched. The cycle will not start until it is. A tripped breaker or a switch under the sink that somebody turned off. Last, and after the door and the supply have been eliminated. Press the door closed and try again Firmly. On panel-ready machines this is the answer more often than any part. Read the top edge of the door For a delay, a code, or Cup Open. Check the breaker and the switch There is often an isolating switch under the sink that gets knocked. See whether the door stays where you put it If it falls open, the springs have gone and the latch is next. Nothing happens when you press start What it usually means The machine will not run on a door it does not trust A delay start reads as a dead machine Panel weight is part of the diagnosis Check the door and the delay before anything else Push the door firmly closed and try again — on a panel-ready machine that alone starts a surprising number of them.

That is not this page — a machine that responds is starting. Check the water supply valve under the sink, and look for H2O on the display. ### It started working again by itself.
