Do washing machines have reset buttons, most modern front load washing machines including Samsung, LG, Whirlpool do not have dedicated physical reset button like small red button, but have reset procedures using combination of buttons on control panel or power cycling. Some older top load washers had reset button on motor. For Samsung front loader, reset is done by unplugging for 5 to 10 minutes to clear control board memory, or pressing specific button combinations like holding Temp and Spin while powering on. LG has similar power reset. Whirlpool has method of turning dial and pressing buttons to reset. The reason no single reset button is that washer control board is computer, power cycle resets it. If you see reset button in manual, it often refers to pressing Power to cancel and holding Start Pause for 3 seconds. Some commercial washers have reset switch inside panel. For troubleshooting, best universal reset is unplug washer for 5 minutes, then plug back and open close door 6 times within 12 seconds to reset motor on some models. So washing machines generally do not have labeled reset button, but have reset procedures using power and control buttons.
