I have a haier dishwasher but the water wont drain out of it. the power light remains on but turning the settings dial has no effect - looks like the pump may be blocked. how can i carry out a factory reset on the machine please ? ive tried tilting the whole unit forward & back in case there was a problem with the tilt switch but no luck

I had problem like this...one day the washer stopped, still half-full of water. Then, we tried to run again and we could hear the little engine working but it wouldn't let water in OR out, just error beaps.
Then my boyfriend took off the back and gently tapped the water inlet valve solenoid with his screwdriver, and now it works! Starting FILLING actually, not draining, but completed a full cycle finally!
Must have shaken loose a blockage in the mechanics in that solenoid, probably have to replace before long. But for now, success!

You maybe right but before doing machine reset button, you need to clean the machine be sure there's no jam in mechanical parts. also not all machine have reset button outside, some are hide and inside the power supply module so look for it and be careful.
