Hello,
I have a Kenmore Elite Dishwasher model number 665.13773K600. I noticed this morning a little standing water in the tub. I pressed the drain button on the keypad. The light came on, but nothing happened. I then attempted to run the dishwasher through a cycle. Keypad responds, but dishwasher doesn't start. I've disconnected power. I've reset the keypad with normal wash and heated dry. Nothing is working. Could this be a control board issue? Unit has power, which means the thermal fuse is active. But, it's as if the control board isn't activating the cycle. Any and all thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Per my previous post, I believe the dishwasher actually thinks it's running a cycle. The unit showed a green finish light as if it thinks it's completed it's cycle.

Thanks

The last two will tell you about all you need to know to fix many units, but you will always need a good multimeter to repair it. I recommend an all-purpose meter found at Home Depot for $42.38. See: Commercial Electric Digital Clamp Meter-MS2002 - The Home Depot (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Commercial-Electric-Digital-Clamp-Meter-MS2002/205620397?N=5yc1vZboffZ1z10piz)
You should also check YouTube, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flzhfmIIYpM
There are several videos on how to fix your problem.
