My Kenmore Ultra Wash Model 665.16039402 dishwasher does nothing.

When I press start, the dishwasher sounds like it’s running through its usual activities, and I hear all the clicks I’m used to hearing. But, the machine sounds too quiet, like there is not really any water pouring in. It runs like this for a few minutes. The washing light and the sensing light are on together, while it runs. Then, suddenly, the sensing light turns off, the washing light stays on for another minute before everything stops and the green “clean” light begins flashing. From there, I have to do a reset by using the heated dry-normal cycle combo. When I look inside the machine, the soap tray is open, but most of the powdered soap is still inside. The dishes are not remotely clean, and there is no water sitting at the bottom of the tub. The only thing that seems to have happened is that the inside of the machine is hot and humid as if it had run normally. Not sure if I need a new motor, have a blocked pump, or some other issue. Thanks for any advice!

It indicates a water temp problem. If water temp doesn't rise at a certain rate, by the heater, it goes into this error. Probably a problem with heater or wires to it.

SOURCE: top rack not cleaning

Some dishwashers have a telescoping nozzle in the center on the bottom. If this is blocked by a large pot in the middle of the bottom tray, the nozzle will only extend up into the pot, and not be able to spray the entire top rack.

Also, some models have an arm mounted in the top. Check and see if it can spin freely, and if it's nozzles are clogged.

De-clog by soaking the part in vinegar.

How do i get my kenmore dishwasher to change from light wash to any other cycle, its kenmore ultra 13449k900 model, runs fine on light duty

Well, if you can't change the cycle by pressing another cycle button, yet you CAN press Start or Cancel and it responds, then you probably have a bad control console. If nothing responds, then you may just have the control-lock (or child-lock) feature turned on.

Kenmore ultra wash dishwasher

Look carefully at your dishwasher keyboard, to see what key is nearest (above or below) the lighted lock symbol. Usually it's the Heated Dry button. Whatever it is, press and hold that key for 5 seconds. That should unlock you dishwasher and you can now use it normally.

Normal wash light blinking, d/w wont start

Wish I could solve this, as I'm having the same problem too. Normal light blinks not matter which wash button is pressed. Cancel light will light, but still NOTHING happens. Same model as yours.

Kenmore Ultra Wash Dishwasher Problem

there is no real way of checking the keypad. Not with a meter but if you push normal wash for example and it does not respond this usually means that you have a bad keypad

Kenmore Ultra Wash Dishwasher LIghts are blinking....

I just read this for the same problem: push sanitize, then heat and dry, sanitize, heat and dry, sanitize, heat and dry, cancel, then open and close the door. It worked. The dishwasher is running correctly even as I type this.
