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)

I am having the same issue but nothing is fixing it. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

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
I will leave this file on the server as long as I can.
