    How to reset the kenmore ultra dishwasher flashing lock on mod# 17772990
    The lock on lite is flashing when you close the door to the dish washer so what do I have to do to fix it or reset it ? I have never used the dish washer as I just bought the house and it came with it. Thank you

    My Sears washer is model 665.17029400 and reset is as follows-Press normal wash and heated dry one after the other about 5 times.All lights on panel will light.Wait until all lights go out and it resets itself.It will go into a mode on it's own.Then press cancel and set your options as you normally would and press start.This worked for me after not having washer for 3 months.Sears customer service told me to turn off breaker for 5 minutes and it would reset itself-NOT TRUE! Depend on sites like this for practical info.Sears does not want you to know these things as it would eliminate expensive and unnecessary service calls. (From another post)

    You may have to go through it and look for things like a stuck float or stopped up pump or filter. Look at these and see if you can learn something that will help: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8010163/Dishwasher%20Service%20Manuals-Whirlpool-Kenmore.zip
