That’s exactly how our stupid Siemens dishwasher works. You have to press the power button for ½ a second, and then it only shows that it registered when you release it!
But if you press it for 3 seconds you make a factory reset.
And you have to press the power button first before you can do anything!?!?
Why not just allow people to choose the program they want, and have it turn on with that?
I have a tendency to press those buttons way harder than necessary, because it feels like they aren’t working! 🤡
Last time I ever buy anything from Siemens, it’s simply too demented.
It just resets to the default program, it’s not a factory reset. I had a Siemens dishwasher and don’t see the problem. It was straight forward to operate.
Edit: I bought mine in 2015 and it had no “smart” features. Because fuck “smart” appliances.
It resets wifi settings and a favorite setting you can make to start a combo program faster, like washing faster or more thoroughly in the bottom drawer. And it resets 2 settings for water.
So quite annoying to have to do all that shit again, except for the wifi which is completely useless, and doesn’t have a single function to make it worth it.
I somehow managed to factory reset my Kobo that way a few days ago. It had frozen, so I held the power button for a few seconds as I usually do when it freezes. Didn’t work, so I held it a little longer.
And suddenly, BOOM, it comes back to life, shuts down, and heads into factory reset town.
I did a few swears, then set it back up, reset the sync to Grimmory, and got all my books back.

What happens when you factory reset a dishwasher? Does it erase all of your dishes?

The washer gnomes that live in the appliance mail your crockery to the factory

But without wifi you can’t connect to its internal webcam to see how clean your mugs are!
