Kenmore ultrawash dishwasher

I can't get the dishwasher off of 'lock'. The red light blinks and the dishwasher won't turn on. The directions on the inside of the door says' to press the 'no heat dry' pad for 4 seconds. Tried it several times. That dosen't work. I shut off the breaker switch to the dishwasher to try to reset it. That didn't work either. I would really appreciate any help you can offer me. Yolonda

    The color of the dishwasher is black and thank-you much. Your suggestion was very helpful. My kids have no idea how to wash dishes by hand.

    Sincerely,

    My kenmore dishwasher has the same issue: the 'Lock On' button will not get the light to come off even after holding it down for 4 seconds or disconnecting power supply. I'm thinking the keypad is shorted out. Model # is 665 15772990 and the unit is white.

    Same problem-tried both procedures-hold th eheat dry for all lengths of time-hold the clear for 10 secpnds (or until light goes out-which it does, but comes back on when button released!)

    Ours is Stainlews steel-same machine though-just a different set of cloths!
    Frustrated-puzzled!

Try holding the no heat dry button until the light goes off..
I know it says for 4 seconds.
Mine does the same thing so someone either can't count or they count very slowly

Little nip Most likely the problem with your dish washer is one or more pads on the control panel are shorted. To fix it the control panel has to be replaced. If you are going to do it yourself, I need the complete model number (on the door frame) and the color for the panel. Then I can find the best deal for you. Gendos...post back

    I found the best prices for you, but because I do not know exact color I'll give you links for all three available. First is for the black:http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/clic... , second for the white:http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/clic... and third one is for the almond:http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/clic...

Why is the lock light on

Look on the front for the buttons that say lock press them at the same time and hold for several seconds the light should go off. If that won't work try to turn off the power for several minutes then restore power.

Kenmore dishwasher ultra was quiet guard 3 model 56516012403 control panel will not activate red lights blinking on normal wash and cancel drain. did the hold the heat dry button then the normal wash...

that would be model # 66516012403 correct??
you may have inadvertently set the lock on function..
check this out from your manual...

Lock On
Use the Lock On to prevent unintended use of the dishwasher
between cycles. You can also use the lock feature to prevent
unintended cycle or option changes during a cycle.
When LOCK ON is lit, all buttons are disabled.
NOTE: The dishwasher door can be opened while the controls
are locked. However, the lock must be turned off and the Start/
Resume button pressed to resume the cycle.
To turn on the Lock
Press and hold HEATED DRY for 4 seconds. LOCK ON glows.
If you press any pad while your dishwasher is locked, the light
flashes 3 times.
NOTE: If the Heated Dry option is selected, the light will
temporarily turn off until Lock On glows.
To turn off the Lock
Press and hold HEATED DRY for 4 seconds. The light turns off.

hope this helps,
best of luck,
ttfn

Dishwasher Clean light blinks constantly.

Try turning off the power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker box. leave the power off for 5 10 mins and then turn breaker back on and try to restart dishwasher. This may reset the board and it may work
