I can provide you with general guidance on how to reset a dishwasher, which should work for most models, including John Lewis dishwashers.
Please note that the specific reset process may vary slightly depending on the model of your John Lewis dishwasher, so it's always a good idea to consult the user manual for your specific dishwasher if available. If you don't have the manual, you can usually find it online on the manufacturer's website or by contacting their customer support.
Here are the general steps to reset a dishwasher:
Power Off: First, make sure the dishwasher is turned off. You can either unplug it from the power outlet or switch off the circuit breaker that supplies power to the dishwasher.
Wait: Give the dishwasher a few minutes to fully power down. Waiting for about 5 minutes should be sufficient.
Power On: Plug the dishwasher back into the power outlet or turn on the circuit breaker to restore power to the dishwasher.
Reset Sequence: Now, you need to perform a specific reset sequence. The exact sequence can vary, but a common method is to press and hold a combination of buttons on the dishwasher's control panel simultaneously. The buttons to press may be different based on your dishwasher model, so refer to your user manual for the correct combination.
Display Panel: If your dishwasher has a digital display panel, it may show various indicators or error codes during the reset process. Again, the specifics will be outlined in the user manual.
Completion: After completing the reset sequence, the dishwasher should reset to its default settings or be ready to start a new cycle.
If, after following these steps, your dishwasher is still not functioning correctly or you encounter error codes, it's advisable to check the user manual or contact John Lewis customer support for further assistance. They can provide you with more specific information tailored to your dishwasher model.
Remember to always exercise caution when dealing with electrical appliances, and if you are unsure or uncomfortable performing a reset yourself, consider seeking help from a qualified technician.
