Please follow these steps to reset your Samsung dishwasher:
1. Locate the 'Power' button on your dishwasher. It's typically found on the front control panel.
2. Press and hold the 'Power' button for about 3 seconds.
3. Release the 'Power' button. The dishwasher should now be reset and ready for use.
*Note: You may need to open and then close the dishwasher door before the unit will function properly after reset.
*Note: If the unit doesn't reset, you can try unplugging from the power supply for about a minute and then plugging back in.
Also remember, if your dishwasher is repeatedly requiring resets or is not functioning properly, it may need servicing or replacement parts. Always disconnect power before attempting any servicing or resets.

There could be several reasons why your Samsung dishwasher is not getting water. Here are a few possible causes and troubleshooting steps to try:
1. Check the water supply: Ensure that the water supply to the dishwasher is turned on and the water valve is not blocked or clogged.
2. Clogged water inlet valve: The water inlet valve, which controls the flow of water into the dishwasher, may be clogged or malfunctioning. Inspect the valve for any debris or blockages and clean or replace it if necessary.
3. Faulty water level sensor: The water level sensor detects and regulates the water level inside the dishwasher. If the sensor is malfunctioning, it may not allow water to enter. Consider having the sensor checked by a professional or contact Samsung customer support for assistance.
4. Low water pressure: Insufficient water pressure can prevent the dishwasher from filling properly. Make sure there are no issues with the water pressure in your home.
5. Kinked or blocked water hose: Examine the water hose connected to the dishwasher for any kinks or blockages. Straighten out any kinks and clear any debris that might be obstructing the flow of water.
If none of these troubleshooting steps resolve the issue, it is recommended to contact Samsung customer support or a professional technician for further assistance or to schedule a repair.

To force a Samsung dishwasher (model DW80R2031US) to drain, you can try the following steps:
1. Make sure the dishwasher is turned off and the door is fully closed.
2. Check if there is any visible debris or clogs in the drain or filter area. Clear them if necessary.
3. Locate the Cancel/Drain button on the dishwasher control panel. If there isn't a dedicated button, find a button that cancels the current cycle or stops the dishwasher.
4. Press and hold the Cancel/Drain button for approximately 3 seconds or until the dishwasher starts draining. Make sure to keep the dishwasher door closed during this process.
5. If the dishwasher doesn't start draining after pressing the Cancel/Drain button, try turning off the dishwasher at the circuit breaker for about 5 minutes, and then turn it back on. This can help reset the dishwasher and allow it to begin draining.
If these steps don't resolve the drainage issue, it's recommended to consult the user manual or contact Samsung customer support for further assistance.
