This site is great! My "clean" light went on and I pressed "Normal Wash, Heated Dry" three times and the dishwasher reset itself.

Did you eventually get it fixed? What was wrong with it?

You guys rock!
I took down the model and serial number and started to look for the Sears number. I was worried this would cost a couple hundred dollars since the warrantee had expired three years ago. Then I thought to check the web - this might be an easy fix. This was the first Google came up with. It worked first time!
Yes - the internet is a wonderful tool!

Thank you so much for this information! I know I didn't actually do anything besides follow your instructions, however, I must admit I feel pretty good not having to call a technician out to my house! Plus, my husband says he now owes me a foot massage. :)
I tried the heated dry-normal wash : heated dry-normal wash sequence and got all of the buttons to come on and a cycle to start, however, when I canceled the cycle that automatically started the green clean button was still flashing and I couldn't start a new wash cycle. After several times of this happening I finally just let the cycle that started automatically run. After a few minutes it ended, the clean button was not flashing and I was able to start a new cycle. I thought I would share just in case someone else had this unique problem.
Anyway, thank you again, so very much!

I have a Kenmore Ultra Wash Quiet Guard 3 and the sequence as follows worked for me: heated dry-normal wash-heated dry-normal wash. Wait just a few secs and the lights on the panel will light up and then going into a Quick Rinse cycle. Cancel the cycle and resume your wash normally. Good Luck!

Does anyone know the sequence for model 16389300? The buttons are different, and I have not figured out the combination.

I have an ultra wash dishwasher, water will spray from the under the bottom rack but not from the arm under the top rack. I've done the reset with the high temp heated dry buttons but that didn't work for me... I'm at a loss. I don't think I'm getting the water pressure that I've typically had... any suggestions?

Although this will reset the control and allow the machine to work again, eventually it will happen again. The heater needs to be replaced and in some instances the heater and the control.

Comment on curtisst's post
I like your post very helpful the washer is back in service, thank you very much. I called sears and asked for a service man to come out and repair my dishwasher and they quoted me 150 just to have the dishwasher diagnosed or I could pay 250 for a service plan that would cover all repairs and coverage for 1 year. I cancelled to service order. I am so glad I took the time and did some research on my own, with your help everything has worked out and my wife is happy again.

Hello, I have the same problem with my Kenmore #665.17052402 but I can not get the reset to work. When I push the buttons, heated dry, normal wash, heated dry, normal wash, the normal wash light and the heated dry light come on but nothing else happens. Very frustrating! Any suggestions out there? Thanks.

You should have gotten a sheet with the dishwasher that says part no. 8535451
And says "FOR SERVICE TECHNICIAN'S USE ONLY". There is a section: SERVICE DIAGNOSTICS CYCLE NOTES.
NOTE 1. To start the Service Diagnostics Cycle, press the following keys, in order, in less than 6 seconds:
Heated Dry, Normal, Heated Dry, Normal
This will initiate a cycle which lasts about 30 minutes.
This same sheet shows what is being checked if you desire to watch it go through the whole sequence.

Having forums like this is one of the best uses of Internet! Like many others, I thank you all for sharing the info about fixing the issue with a blinking "clean" light on a Kenmore dishwasher.
My model is 665.1389/ 665.1321 and the procedure worked brilliantly. HERE ARE THE STEPS:
1. Hit 'normal wash'-'heated dry' sequence repeatedly (3 times in my case) until all the lights light up.
2. Close the door and, after the dishwasher re-sets itself, it will automatically start a normal wash-heated dry cycle.
As simple as this (shame on Kenmore for not including this info in their troubleshooting section in the manual!)!

If I could reach through the internet and give you a big kiss I would Curtisst! My dishwasher is off and running. After blinking "clean" at me for 2 hours of frustration, the "normal wash" and "heated dry" alternating buttons lit the entire panel as you predicted, momentarily went out, and started up with normal wash. Being the mother of all teenage boys with an over loaded washer crammed boy style, I was dreading the hand cleaning coming up. Now I am having a glass of wine! Muah
