Thank you so very much! I haven't been able to use my dishwasher now for about three weeks, it's been driving me crazy! My husband is an electrician and he looked into it and couldn't figure out what was wrong. This information was exactly what it took to get it up and running, and I didn't even have to go broke to do it!
God Bless web sites such as this.
\Sincerely -M-
Just saved me $70.00 plus for a service call... Thank-you.
YEAH!! It worked. Have had Clean light flashing for a couple of days. Tried turning of the circuit beaker but nothing worked. Look my question up on Google and found this. Thanks so much. It took 3 cycles of pushing Normal Wash and Heated Dry and all of the panel lights came on. THANKS THANKS THANKS!
My "clean" light is flashing on model 665.15932. I was going to reset using all the suggestions on this site but my dishwasher does not have a "heated dry" button. Does anyone know the reset sequence for this model?
My wife thanks you, Curtisst. I should have googled thi s a month ago. WE thought we were going to have to buy a computer board for it.
Many have suggested starting the 16.5 minute diagnostic and self calibration cycle but cancelling immediately. I think you'd be better off letting the machine finish. Either way will clear the error code but letting the full cycle run is like letting a tune up for free.
Pull the toe kick panel by removing two screws and you can read the "for technicians only" instructions taped to the inside to see how to do it on your specific model. If there is an error after the self-diagnosis is over, don't despair... most of the parts are available on line or at your local appliance parts depot, and all the parts can be installed with a screw driver and some patience.
Kenmore Elite Dishwasher Model #665 1376 "Normal Wash" light blinks, controls are inoperative. Tried the codes listed for other models... No Joy! Does anyone have a different procedure for this model?
Thank you! This normal wash/ heated dry back and forth technique seems to have worked. Thank goodness we are avoiding an expensive repair job.
I just had an argurment with my wife about getting a repair man to fix our dishwasher. So I googled and came to your reply. Pressing normal and heated dry worked. It reset. So now I'm checking if it will run. Thanks
I have a Kenmore model 665 749632. The following sequence worked for me:
Press Normal wash, then heated dry. Repeat 5 times.
All the lights on the panel came on.
Close door. Press Start. Open door. Press Cancel 2 times.
Thanks for this website! It's Dec. 22, I have 10 people here for the holidays and having the dishwasher broken down was a little stressful! Sears wanted $75 to come to the door, and the earliest appt. was for Dec. 28th. Now I can enjoy my grandkids vs. washing dishes!!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!
Thank you so much! I did exactly what you said and my dishwasher is working fine. I was so stressed that I was going to have to pay to have someone come out to fix it and there's no way I can afford that right now. Thanks again.Quote:

Follow-up question - any thoughts on if you follow the "hi temp wash" and "heated dry" routine, all the lights come on... and then they never go back off? Am I officially fried?
I have a Kenmore 665 and using the sequence of pressing normal wash and heated dry repeatedly resolved the problem of the flashing green clean light. Great!
Thanks guys - it worked like a charm and saved us since we have a big Easter dinner tomorrow with the family.

My washer appears to be properly reset and working. I unfortunately am not sure which sequence order I used (normal wash-heated dry or the other way around) but I did find I had to have the door fully close for the reset to be done.
I had the same thing happen to me but found that when I closed the door then went through the reset sequence, the lights went out as described in the other posts. The reset was then successful for me.Quote:

Good question. I don't know why my machine also malfunctioned but I'm glad it's working again
I found part of a plastic cutting mat that had been burned. I am hoping that is the only reason for the shut down and no repair will have to be made. After trying the button sequence mentioned in the earlier posts it is working fine.
All the lights came on but they won't go off
Thanks for the help! Its crazy people have to search for this information.. should be part of the "troubleshooting" section of manual.
I guess they want you to pay some hack to come to our houses and save the day...
All, if you have the control on the top of the dishwasher, once all the lights come on, you have to shut the door and then it starts a cycle.
Great Site
I found this site quite awhile ago & have used the reset feature often.
Now the dishwasher shuts down every time it is used. 7 flashes of the green light.
How or where can I find more info on what needs repaired. It is obviously past just needing a reset everyday & something is now wrong. Is it just a heating elelment or thermister that I can change out?
Thanks, Mark
If it doesn't heat (or sense that the water is heated) up the water to the temperature expected, then it will error every time. If you watch the cycle, wait for it to error out, then open the dishwasher you can make the conclusion:
If the water in the tub is hot, then your heater is fine and it's your thermistor.
If the water is not hot, then it's your heating element.
It sounds like what ever it is, was going bad intermitently... now it's failed completely.
It worked great! Thank you for this great help.
I have done exactly as this site is advising... It's starting and getting reset but after trying to clean it stop and get back to the green light "clean"...
The water is heated, so, it should be another problem but I have not a clue wish one...
Please, any suggestions?
I have a Kenmore Elite. Ultrawash. Quiet Guard 7
WOW, 4 years later and this fix still works. Thank you so much for posting this, my machine was flashing Clean and wouldn't do anything and now it magically is running!
Just like you said, pushed alternating for three times and Wham! All the lights went on and off and it is washing now.
THANK YOU!

I should note our model was 665.1483 or some business like that (it's running now or I would look) but I pushed the normal wash, heated dry, normal wash, heated dry, normal wash, heated dry, in that order, just like that and now it's going! Good luck!Quote:

Goose14,
I also do still occasionally have the issue of the computer system getting confused even though I've reset it. I just reset the computer again with the normal wash/heated dry buttons, wait for it to start up again, then press the Cancel/Drain button. It will make a sound like it drains (but there is nothing to drain) and then I quickly press it again to shut it off. Typically if I give it a little time before just starting the cycle from the beginning again I have no issues and it gets through a whole wash.
One thing I did want to say though, in response to your question about glass was that YES, I did notice that our washer was NOT cleaning nearly as well as it did when we first got it. This issue happened around the same time that the computer panel started going nutty. I looked at the manual and it turns out for our model there are no removable filters to clean, so that was out.
However, I did solve the issue and now it's running GREAT. All I did, was what I figured a repair man would do: took out the drawers, removed the parts screwed into the washer that spray the water (the arm running along the back and top and the bottom spinner), then used a star screwdriver attachment for my drill to remove the actual screen at the bottom where the water drains and the food catches to (in theory) be ground up. Once that top plate with the screen is removed I simply removed the cover to the grinding device. Getting access to these areas showed me the issue: glass pieces, fruit pits/seeds, and all other bits of things accumulated over the years that the grinding mechanism wouldn't get rid of! So I got all the pieces out carefully and then put all the parts back together, cleaning off the "gook" that built up over the years.
Worked like a charm! Good luck!
