How do you do a hard reset on a dishwasher?
A dishwasher is a household appliance that cleans dishes and silverware by spraying them with hot water and detergent and then sucking up the water and waste. A dishwasher can become unresponsive or frozen for various reasons. If this occurs, you may need to do a hard reset on the dishwasher.
The first step is to unplug the dishwasher from the electrical outlet. Next, remove the water inlet hoses from the dishwasher. There should be one on the top of the dishwasher and one on the bottom. Place a bucket or container under the hoses to catch the water.
Now, remove the dishwasher’s kickplate. This is the cover on the bottom of the dishwasher. There are usually screws or snaps that hold it in place. Once the kickplate is removed, you will see the dishwasher’s pump motor.
Loosen the clamps that hold the motor in place. There should be one on the top and one on the bottom. Gently pull the motor out of the dishwasher.
Now, you can do a hard reset on the dishwasher. Look for a small hole on the side of the motor. This is the reset hole. Use a paperclip or a small screwdriver to press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds.
Replace the motor in the dishwasher and tighten the clamps. Replace the kickplate and tighten the screws or snaps. Plug in the dishwasher and turn it on. The dishwasher should now be working properly.
