    Kenmore Dishwasher 665.13213K901 not draining
    I have a Kenmore Dishwasher mod. 665.13213K901 which I purchase about a year and a half ago. It's been working fine until now! The other day, I ran a load, and realized it did not drain. I pressed the CANCEL/DRAIN BUTTON and nothing. I had about 2" of water in the tub. I got out my shop vac, and sucked all the water out! Here is what I have done so far...
    1.)Turned to power off!
    2.) I removed the lower arm assembly and the screen. I found a whole lot of greasy sediment. I removed all of it with the shop vac.
    3.) I then removed the next piece, exposing the drain, etc. I vacuumed that out also.
    4.) Went underneath and disconnected the drain hose. Ran a small snake through the hose and the drain piece.
    5.) Re-attached the hose.
    6.) Turned on the power, without reassembling the inside. Pressed the CANCEL/DRAIN button and all I here a click, but nothing happens.

    Is there a reset button, or something else I should try? I am fairly mechanically inclined, but my late husband used to do all of this! I've never worked on a dishwasher before!

    It sounds like the filter is stopped up. Check it and clean it out. Also, check float cut-off. They stick in "up" position. Here are some manuals: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8010163/How...e%20Manual.pdf
