I need to reset the control panel for SMEG dishwasher model number DW1612C?

open door
switch off
switch on
Immediately press program button 4 x in 3 seconds
the end 2 lights should light up
press program button & 1 light should go off
switch it off for about 20 secs
switch it on
switch it off for about 20 seconds
switch it on

If resetting doesnt fix it check that the base unit isnt flooded & the anti flood device is activated but it worked for me . :) good luck !!

I have a DW1710E Smeg Dishwasher and I found the reset button on mine. Whether this is the same as yours you will find out. Behind the plinth, your dishwasher has a steel panel. I removed this and exposed the wiring, the reset button is red and at the leftmost part of the machine, on the "ceiling" of the bottom on the machine (if that makes sense!). Remember to switch off first. Good Luck.
