    Flip the breaker off for 30 seconds at the electric panel, then turn it back on. Has it cleared?

    I googled "Kenmore Ultra dishwasher troubleshooting" and got some replies from this website. Several answers focused on the green flashing light (does your Ultra have this?). There were a variety of responses, including replacing the heating element, and others. You should check that out.

    THe advice I got worked. I held down the start button for 10 sec - did not work. I repeated procedure starting with the first button in the row, then the next, after about the third button, the red light about"start" did stop blinking and went off. I then pressed "start" and have not had any problems since.
