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.

The problem is hard water. www.dishwasherfilter.com has a product to solve this problem once and for all. It filters the water going into your dishwasher and removes the hard minerals that leave those spots. It is very affordable and even has a money back guarantee. You will love the way your dishes look with this product.

Start by checking the connections where the power connects to the machine. If it has an electronic control there is a fuse that does open. Eric

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

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.

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
