How do I reset my kenmore elite dishwasher

[drtom4444]

Try this:
Heated Dry, Hi Temp Wash, Heated Dry, Hi Temp Wash, Close the door, Start, open the door, Cancel 2x , or:
1. Press "Normal Wash" and "Heated Dry" one after each other about five times.
2. All lights on panel will light up. Wait until all lights go out and it resets itself. It will go through a test mode.
3. Press "Cancel" and set as you normally would and press Start.

If the above does not work, do this: (From another post here)
"1. Unlock your Kenmore dishwasher control panel by pressing and holding the "Heated Dry" button for four seconds.
2. Press a series of four buttons in quick succession. Press "Heated Dry,""Normal Wash," "Heated Dry" and "Normal Wash" to instruct your Kenmore dishwasher to run a short diagnostic test.
3. Wait for two minutes while your Kenmore dishwasher runs its diagnostic test.
4. Press the "Cancel/Drain" button once your dishwasher has completed its diagnostic test. This should reset your dishwasher control panel and stop the "Clean" light from blinking repeatedly."
I hope that this helps. Here are a few documents that should help: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8010163/Kenmore_Ultrawash_Dishwasher.pdf

Make sure to check any safeties such as the high-water-cutout float on the bottom of the tub and anything else suggested in the manual that could be tested with a meter if the above does not help.
