Resetting your Samsung dishwasher is a straightforward process that can help clear error codes and restore normal operation. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Unplug or Turn Off: Begin by unplugging your dishwasher from the power outlet or turning off the circuit breaker that controls it.
  2. Wait: Allow the dishwasher to sit unplugged or with the power off for 1 to 5 minutes. This allows any electrical charge to dissipate completely.
  3. Plug Back In or Turn On: After waiting, plug the dishwasher back in or turn the circuit breaker back on to restore power to the appliance.

Your dishwasher should now be reset and ready to use.

Important Note: While a reset can clear error codes, it does not address the underlying issue causing the problem. Here are some scenarios specific to Dubai where a reset alone may not be sufficient:

  1. Dishwasher Not Starting: If the dishwasher door isn’t fully closed, simply resetting the appliance won’t fix the issue. Ensure the door is shut properly before troubleshooting further.
  2. New Dishwasher Installation: If you’ve recently installed a new dishwasher and it’s not turning on, there may be installation issues. Consult the manual or seek assistance from a professional installer in Dubai.
  3. Drainage Problems: Error codes indicating drainage issues require thorough inspection of the drain hose for clogs or improper installation. Resetting the dishwasher won’t resolve the problem without addressing the drainage issue first.

Finding the Right Solution: For specific troubleshooting steps related to your dishwasher error code, consider these resources:

  • Samsung Dishwasher Error Code Guide: Offers solutions based on specific error codes displayed on your dishwasher.
  • Samsung Dishwasher Blinking Lights Guide: Interprets blinking light patterns to diagnose issues in models without a digital display.

After Troubleshooting: Once you’ve addressed the underlying cause of the error code through troubleshooting, you can perform a reset to clear the code from the dishwasher’s memory. If the error persists after troubleshooting and resetting, it’s advisable to seek service from a qualified technician in Dubai.

Additional Note for Wi-Fi Dishwashers: If you own a Wi-Fi-enabled Samsung dishwasher and need to erase all network information, follow these steps:

  1. Hold the “Smart Control” button until “AP” displays (approximately 3 seconds).
  2. Hold the “Hi-Temp Wash” button until the dishwasher chimes (approximately 7 seconds).
  3. Turn off the dishwasher.

This will reset your dishwasher’s network settings.
