2020 Essex dishwasher is set to auto lock when you close the drawer. Coach has been in storage 2 months and now drawer won’t unlock when I knock on door.

I’ve tried cycling the power but still won’t unlock. Any ideas?

It has a child lock also that takes more knocks like maybe 4 or 5?

On our last two coaches, it has to have 110 volt shore power or generator power to unlock. It won't unlock on the inverter.

That was absolutely the problem. The 50amp breaker on the pole had tripped and I didn’t realize I was running on the inverter. Thanks for the replies

I added this LED light to the side of the sink. On my coach the induction cooktop plugs into an outlet that is only on a shore power circuit. I added this 110 volt LED to a lamp cord and plugged it into the outlet. On Amazon, I bought a black painted brass tag and had Shore Power printed on it. I can pretty much see it coming into the coach or while sitting in the main cabin. It tells me that the shore power is on as the coach can seamlessly transfer to shore power without you knowing it. I know you can check the front panel, but this I can see all the time. It's very handy.
