Resetting controller on Ariston AFA250?

I made the mistake of opening the door of my dishwasher a few times during the rinse cycle, now it refuses to do anything.

When I power it up the machine drains the water out of the bottom & then stops with the green led flashing. I've tried disconnecting the mains but I can't work out how to kick it back in to life.

We have had the problem once before & the engineer took 2 minutes to fix it so I suspect that the controller needs reset in some way.

Does anyone know how to reset it?

Many thanks

Tilting the dishwasher back to reset the overfill switch is genious, I really thought I would have to buy a new dishwasher... what a star!

Fantastic. Went on line to find the price of a new dishwasher and found this gem of information. Worked within a couple of minutes.

This man is a genius!!!

I had exactly the same problem detailed above (although mine was caused by trying to wash a very dirty bbq in the dishwasher) and this fix worked perfectly...

...one word of warning though. Get some rags, or kitchen roll ready as loads of water poured out the back, even though it all appeared to be drained off inside!

Thanks again.

Tip the machine back and any leaked/overfilled water will run out, this will allow the overfill float switch to reset. After a couple of mins sit it back down and you should be able to reset and start a new programme.
