Kenmore elite limited edition (665.16493300):

Before I begin I posted this thread yesterday but gave the wrong model# I've since found the right # so I'm posting again... thanks

My Kenmore starts with the sani rinse light which is flashing green...

Then I push the normal wash button and that light starts flashing too with the sani wash light...

So while those lights are both flashing I push the cancel button and then that starts flashing too...

So now I have three buttons flashing so I figured I try another button, the smart wash button, to see if there's a pattern then it starts flashing...

So now I have four buttons flashing...

I tried holding down the air dry button, to unlock because I thought it might be locked, nothing..

So than I tried unplugging from the wall thinking it might reset, that just stops the other lights from flashing and just the sani rinse light flashes... its like starting at the beginning, started pushing buttons and they started flashing again... the funny thing is the other buttons will not flash once there pushed, just those four buttons that I've mentioned...

I don't have the manual and its loaded with dishes.. Please help, I'll try anything... thanks again for any help, ballihu
