Hehe,
I had to push and hold down one of the buttons on the front of my 
Asko dishwasher - it seemed to be broken, and turnining it off at the 
wall didn't fix it.

Holding down the 'start' button on my dishwasher for about four 
seconds did the trick - lights blinked in a pretty pattern for a 
while, and since then it has worked flawlessly.

hmm.. i have to press the start button on my dishwasher - does this 
mean it runs windows?

Regards
Karl
