Kenmore Ultra Wash Dishwasher flashing "clean" light needs to be reset

Asked Dec 29, 2006, 11:17 AM — 100 Answers
We paid a Sears repairman to come out when we had a flashing "Clean" light on our dishwasher, A Kenmore Ultra Wash 665.1603 or 1703, and he gave us the diagnostic code (buttons to push on the operating panel) and we have used it again after that, but I cannot find the order of the buttons to push now. Does anyone know which ones to select?

Wow. I have been w/out dishwasher for over a month, too. I read the manual and decided I must need a new heating element for my Kenmore 665.172... because the green light flashed. I went by Sears, even, and they told me no one would have the. I called and ordered the part. The rep read me a bunch of stuff and basically I "signed off" that I understood that part was not returnable. I paid $30 plus shipping. So, I set about replacing it this morning and as I was trying to determine whether or not I needed to pull the entire washer out to access the terminals I ran across this discussion. Sure enough, I pushed the high temp wash button, then the heated dry button a couple of times, got the full flash, and Voila!

Sears is ripping off a lot of folks. What's the deal? Do we have any other recourse? I suppose just getting this out is one way to discourage the brand...

Many thanks!

I too was able to use the info on this site to reset my Kenmore Elite dishwasher and save myself an expensive service bill. I tried the first time with the door open though and found that didn't work, but after closing the door & trying again it worked perfectly. PTL

This is so awesome. This is the second time I have gotten on to recheck this sequence and it works perfectly. I have gotten another year out of this dishwasher that the repair guy told me needed to be replaced.
