This worked! It sounds crazy but my dishwasher is working! Thank you

You also helped me solve my problem of front panel not turning on, and other lights dimly lit... Thanks! Now it turns on and runs normal wash!

THis worked for me too - all buttons would light up except start and cancel - and those did not work. I had to try the procedure above 2X but it solved the issue. Thanks!

The heated dry/normal wash sequence didn't work for me after replacing the heating element which was shot. I had to hit sani wash/heated dry multiple times then close the door WITHOUT hitting cancel. The dishwasher then went through what looked like a diagnostic mode then all of the lights reset.

We recently moved into a home with a Kenmore 66515112k211 and I was never able to select anything but normal wash. I was trying to figure out how to shut off heated dry the last cycle that I ran. Seemed fine, but now it seems that I've got it locked. The only button that illuminates regardless of what is pressed is the Lock on Hold for 30 sec indicator light. I've tried pressing the Select Cyle button and the Options or Heated Dry Button, Cancel, etc and nothing seems to be working for me. Hubby is out of town and I'm frustrated. The previous owners left no owners manual. I'm assuming that this is a child safety feature, and I have no need for it. Thanks for any assistance.

I had the same problem and it turned out to be a pice of paper stuck in the filter - very sensitive machine!

I did everything I knew to do, looked at the manual, did what its says on here about pushing alternate buttons, nothing worked. I would like to thank whoever said you can't reset it like you do a computer. A light went on! I went to the breaker panel, flipped off the breaker for the dishwasher, counting slowly to 20. Flipped it back on and crossed my fingers! Went back to the dishwasher, worked like a charm!! Thanks!!
