Kenmore Elite 17262
I just took my Kenmore elite 17262 apart because it was not getting the
top rack clean and the soap was not being used up- i.e. low water
pressure. The short story - Misc. objects were clogging the
screen/grinder, I cleaned out olive pits, a small plastic bag, pieces
of plastic and masking tape (from labeled Tupperware) and stringy food,
now it cleans much better. Getting to the grinder compartment was
tough. A few tips: the top rack drawer slides come out after you remove
the stops in front by pushing the buttons and pulling the stops toward
the center of the machine. The tube at the back unclips from the
ceiling and the back wall and tilts down as you slide the connection
out from the supply tube at the bottom. Hold the spray arm and turn the
plastic centerpiece clockwise to screw it down through the arm. Rotate
the top manifold/supply pipe clockwise 1/8th turn to release; next you
will need a small torx (star) driver to take out four screws holding in
the screen/manifold. Note where the two nylon washers go on the
pivot/axle for the arm. Under the screen/manifold is the grinder cover,
remove one smaller torx screw and it will snap out (may be stuck in
with accumulated goo). I used a shop vac to clean this area but sponges
and tweezers would do, check for damage to the screen and blade.
Inspect wash out and reassemble everything in order. The fine mesh
screen pops off with a large screwdriver (careful cleaning the screen)
Replace the two nylon washers under the pivot/axle and install the
supply pipe manifold just before inserting the center pivot, if you put
the pivot in first the manifold will not seat. A work light and small
parts dish help. Use appropriate force on plastic parts and common
sense. If you have hard water try the vinegar trick also (another post)
or first. - good luck

Door won't close
I have the same dishwasher and the latch has never worked. Finally after 9 months and many service trips I went back to the store and they gave me a new dishwasher. Dealing with Sears has been a nightmare.

Kenmore dishwasher won't run
Common solutions for: Kenmore Dishwasher will not start. The door switch prevents the dishwasher from running and working while the door is open. If the door switch is defective, the switch will stop the dishwasher from running even when the door is closed. If the thermal fuse has blown , it will prevent the dishwasher from starting.
Make sure your dishwasher is fully and also securely plugged in and that the circuit breaker switches haven't been tripped. .It also houses the door latch switch that provides the power to the dishwasher controls. If the dishwasher door isn't closed properly, the dishwasher won't receive power to finish a wash cycle You could call a repair person that fixes dishwashers to have a look at it and see what the problem is with the dishwasher
