I went online to find a schematic of the heater circuit so that I could start tearing our dishwasher apart.

I found this instead.

Thanks so much.

Had the heating coil in our dishwasher split in half today. Got a new one and installed it and discovered the green flashing light wouldn't stop and I couldn't run the machine. So I called the repair number to have a technician come out (which I was told wouldn't happen for 2 weeks).

After a bit of searching, I found this site and thread and it's solved my issue and saved me some money. Thank you to all who provided help!

I have a Kenmore model 665.15769, and the Quick Rinse button is blinking. I have turned the power off and back on through the breaker, and it is still blinking. Any suggestions?

I have a Kenmore Ultra Wash 1637. The normal wash light blinks and the delay button stays on. Will these reset options work on this one?

I have an older model 665.15732 no heated dry button just air dry how do I punch in the sequence?

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I was totally bummed because I thought I needed a new dishwasher. It didn't make sense that the clean light would stay on even with the door open. I tried resetting with the circuit breaker also. No luck. I'm not sure which model I have because I've searched and searched for the papers to no avail. I purchased it in 2005. I am SO happy I don't have to get a new disherwasher! I did dry, clean, dry, clean, dry clean until all lights lite up and lo and behold it worked. THANKS SO MUCH!!

Praise the Lord for Bingston. I first called Sears to have set up an appontment for them to come out and they offered me two options. $129 to cover all labor, no matter how long it took, or $204 and it would cover parts and labor. I told them it sounded like a ripoff, since what if it only needed a reset, or only took him 5 minutes to find the problem and a $10 part. I told them it sounded like Sears was trying to rip people off. For the $200 I could go out and buy a now Kenmore dishwasher. I read Bingston's post and that took care of it, again thank you and please keep this site up and running.

You people here rock. My Kenmore Dishwasher wasn't cleaning the dishes anymore. I looked it up online and found out the problem was the grinding cleaning arms were clogged with all kinds of gross things. I cleaned it out and also learned about Dishwasher Magic, which I found at ace hardware, no one else had it to get rid of the hard water and dishwasher detergent residues which were winding up on my dishes.

Unfortunately then the Dishwasher now wouldn't turn on. The Pots and Pans Light was stuck on. I found you here and did the normal wash, heated dry buttons I think 3 or 4 times, all the lights started flashing then the machine turned on. I pushed cancel twice and it turned off . Then, I reset it as I normally would and.. It's working great.
I am using the Dishwasher Magic and hopefully it will handle my problem with the residue.

I have to thank you all, specifically the comments from Lillys_Daddy posting for the tip on resolving this issue. I was going crazy with this problem. I refused to call Sears to get ripped off!! We have service contract on this fairly new house for all the appliances and we have had the circuit board replaced already, by a Technician from a third party Service Contract Company, but in a 24 hours the darn dishwasher went crazy again with that green light. We had the technician out again, and this time he went through some sequence to get the dishwasher back on course. We have been told the power surges in Florida screw up the appliances. But he would not tell me what that sequence of button pushing was! He also told me the company had many problems with this model of dishwasher from Sears. This kind of makes you wonder about the quality Sears is proclaiming they put out. I am so through with that nonsense. I mean really your only costing yourself money cause as far as I am concerned I paid a years service contract and I would have you out here as many times as required.

Is there a class action law suit against Sears for putting out LEMONS like this one?

I want to THANK EVERYONE for this posting! We are like everone else and having hard times. My dishwasher would not cancel. So I followed your instructions! Wonderful it reset right away and saved us a $100.00 service call!We live way out on a working cattle ranch and Sears charges us an arm and leg to come out this far. Washing a load of dishes right now!! Thank YOU!

Wow! Just tried it now and success ! Wahoo - thank you! :D:D

curtisssss you are the MANNNN , worked perfectly. My drain was clogged, so after I cleaned it out the flashing green light is as I presume a diagnositic code. Flashes 6x then 1x (which probably means clogged or no drain) after I cleaned it out, I reset the computer by pushing normal/heated dry 2 or 3x and all lights lit up. After a few minutes I pushed cancel and everything worked. Thanks fella's

This has been a great help! Thanks so much! Now I can use my dishwasher again!

Thank you so much for these postings. I had the same problem and I did the reset as you said, it it worked like a charm. Thank you for saving me all this money!!

This is some truly useful information. Wonderful that you all shared it on this site. You sure made my day, week, month!!

Where do I find the filter on Kitchenaid dishwasher?

Unfortunately, although the info here allowed me to do the reset, it appears it does indicate an underlying defect. When I was able to run the washer again, it didn't work properly. So the flashing clean light does in fact seem to have a function - keeping you from using the machine when it's broken.

This website is the bomb and just saved me a dishwasher repair bill. I have a Kenmore Elite model#665.162653400, I tried Normal Wash and Heated Dry back and forth several times, (stupid me didn't even see the hitemp wash until later) but nothing happened so I pressed them both at the same times about 3 or 4 times and all the lights lit up and then off and then it started!! I did the whoo hoo dance around the kitchen!! Thanks guys!!
