Press WINDOWS-R on the keyboard to bring up the Run window, enter MSCONFIG and click OK. Under the General tab, click "Diagnostic startup."
Make sure the dishwasher is in Standby mode (no cycle running). Press the "Heated Dry," and "Normal," buttons one after the other, twice. After entering the correct button sequence, the control panel should light up as the dishwasher begins the reset. Allow the process to continue until it automatically shuts off.
