Hi, The reason for F1 fault code in your dishwasher is due to the flood switch that has been activated in your unit. The best way to solve your problem is to turn off the water supply and power supply to your unit and call an authorized service center. These problems cant be fixed on your own. Thank you !!
If it is F1, it is a 'flood' fault code. there is water in the bottom of the dish drawer frame, i.e. it has overflowed and spilled out. Until the water is gone, the fault code will no go away. once you get rid of the water it will work again. No special reset or anything needed.
To sort it out you can remove the lower drawer by pushing the tab on each front/lower/side to disconnect drawer from its slides then push the slides back in and rest the drawer on the floor. The drawer just sits on the sliders with the clip holding it in place. re-installing is easy but if the sliders get stuck just pull the lower edge of the drawer side out a bit with your hand to give the slider a bit more clearance to pass, you might need to lift the drawer up a bit to get the clip into its original place.
Obviously, make sure the power is OFF. (water too is a good idea but not essential)
Inside, at the back left of washers floor - there is a grey plastic base with a white plastic cover. The top white cover can be uncliped and slid to the right to remove, unclip the front with screwdriver for example, (details are moulded into the plastic).
You will see a circuit board, that board has a screw in the middle/left. That screw, and a 'vertical' piece on the left of the circuit board measure water on the floor of the washer (by conduction between screw and some metal on the vertical piece of board that almost touches the metal base of drawer floor).
Once you remove the screw, the grey plastic piece can be lifted up enough to slide some paper towels under it to dry up the water. Concentrate on drying this area under the board only to get it going, mind you drying everything will help prevent rust etc.
You dont need to remove the circuit board, unless it is wet of course which is unlikely due to the cover.
What caused the overflow can be anything from wrong type of powder to a blocked pump or cracked plastic drain pipe.
You will need to investigate the blocked drain, if it is that, try pushing the drawers back and forth quickly while the pump is going. In my case it was enough to dislodge the blockage.
If you are not keen on doing the above, and have time, then by opening the drawers and leaving it for a week or 3 'might' enough to evaporate the water.
