If you cannot reset it then very likely you have a problem with a safety or a part on the circuit board, like a bad capacitor. Back in the late 1980s someone thought that they had the total secret formula from the Japanese for the electrolyte that goes between the foil plates wound inside the capacitors. The Japanese make the best capacitors in the world. The formula was sold to Taiwanese companies, but it was missing the final secret step. Shortly afterwards, and it is still happening today, the capacitors started failing. The swell up and short out or blow open. They are usually easy to spot on a circuit board. These dishwashers have this problem, too, as well as TVs and all other electronics.
