What button to press to reset KitchenAid dishwasher like KDPM604KPS and KDTM604KPS to clear error codes, flashing lights, and control glitches involves control panel combination, as there is no dedicated physical reset button. First method is control panel reset: press High Temp Wash and Heated Dry buttons together or Sani Rinse and Heated Dry depending on model, alternating 4 to 5 times within 5 seconds, all lights will flash, then press Cancel or Drain button, this enters diagnostic mode and clears codes. Second method for newer KitchenAid dishwashers: press three buttons in sequence 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3 within 8 seconds, for example press High Temp, Heated Dry, High Temp, Heated Dry, High Temp, Heated Dry, all lights flash, then press Cancel. Third method is hard power reset that works for all models: press Cancel or Drain to stop cycle, open door, then unplug dishwasher from under sink outlet or turn off breaker at panel that supplies it, wait at least 10 to 15 minutes to allow control board capacitors to discharge and clear memory, plug back in, dishwasher will beep and display may show PF. Fourth, reset control lock: if display shows LOC and buttons not working, press and hold Lock or Control Lock button for 3 seconds until light goes off. Reset clears electronic glitches but does not fix mechanical failures like drain pump at 30 to 70 dollars.
