Hi - unfortunately my good friend it cannot be reset as one would like quite easily anyhow... water has found its way to the base of the drwaers and have activated the flooding switch - one could pull it apart to dry it - tip the water out from the base but if the leaks not repaired you will have the same problem later and will be on-going. 5 Fault Codes Fault Code LED Display Fault Possible Causes F1 ----# The flood switch has been activated. A leak has occurred in the base of the dishwasher. Cause The fill valve has failed open. The flood switch is faulty. Excessive water has been added to a wash sub cycle, indicating leaking seal or siphoning. hope this is useful tp you - let me know if you require further asspstance...
Well I have a Fisher & Paykel Nautilus single door Dishwasher about 10 years old or more. All of a sudden we started getting F1 error and what sounded like a pump trying to pump out water. I read these posts the poured water in bottom of dishwasher and it sucked the water out, but pump kept running. I took the metal filter out from inside base of machine and cleaned it ...was dirty. oops... then tilted machine and water drained out of somewhere in the bottom of machine....put everything back and its now working perfectly. Thanks for all those that gave me the guidance..YOU ROCK!

Turn off the main power to the dishwasher.
I am assuming you are getting F1 error code flashing (if your drawers have LCD display) or the LEDs are flashing if you have intergrated drawers.
The flood switch is located at the base of the drawer tub. You will have to either extend the drawers out fully or take them out depending on the amount of water that would have collected at the base of the tubs. Get some towels and dry the base out. You may also need a hair dryer.
Once the flood switch dries off the drawer should work ok when you turn back the power.
The causes of the flood switch trriggering is either too much foam in detergent (use recommended detergent) or leak in water in or drain pipe.
Please remember to rate the solution if it helps or post a comment if not.
