Hi,

We have a kenmore ultra wash dishwasher we got from someone since ours was dead.
Model #665.15895792 and it doesn't do anything. Lights up, timer goes down like it should but no water is coming in, arms are not moving etc.

I read the post on resetting the dishwasher but those examples are not what my unit display shows and I tried multiple buttons pressing them to see if it would reset and nothing.

The service guide under the toe plate is gone so can't use that, any ideas?

Thanks!!

Thanks for the reply sidit!

I have read that post and it gives a link to the owners manual, and I need the service tech guide for this model and hoping I can get mine to reset.

Here are some service manuals that will show you a lot, even though not all are about your exact model. One thing I would check first would be the water valve and solenoid. You will need a good multimeter to do anything with an appliance. You just cannot fix modern appliances by guessing. The best many of us can do at times is to give you an educated guess unless we know the meter readings. All dishwashers are made very similar. Here is what you need to help you diagnose it: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8010163/Whirlpool_Dishwasher_Service_manual.pdf

The last two books are very good and teach you quickly how to use a meter. You need a good meter, like a digital clamp meter: 47614
You can find a meter like this at Home Depot for $42.38. For the price I have not found a better deal.
