The problem is that the clean light flashes even when the door is open. When trying to start the washer the start light flashes and it does not start. I tried draining it and that does not work.
Solution 2 is the best which is as follows..
The clean light sometimes flashes and just needs to be reset. To do so
hit the keys in the following order. <Heated Dry> <Normal
Wash> <Heated Dry> <Normal Wash> <Cancel>.
The dishwasher will go through a cancel cycle (drain the tub) and will then let you start it up again..the pressing of the buttons takes several attempts. the lights on the front panel will all light up and the washer will go through a cycle. it will be fixed upon completion of the cycle

I did this with mine as was all excited thinking it fixed it - then it went through a very short cycle and then does it all over again. I can't seem to get it to do a full regular wash and my dishes are still dirty :((( any ideas??? HELP
I tried this as well. Seemed like it was going to work, but didn't. The green light is no longer flashing, but when I try to run the dishwasher, it acts like it's trying to work but I don't hear any washing. No green light at all now. I guessing it's time for either a repairman or new dishwasher. I've had this one for 6 years now.
I am so exctited..that WORKED! Wow. Nice,no need to call a repair man. I saved what...100 dollars,thank you,thank you.
Worked great on my amana!!! had to do it 3 times becauseI was doing it wrong. You just ned topredd the botttons in a steady order, and not hold them down. Then after all the liht came on and went off. I opened the door and shut it again to sart a new cycle.
Catriver was correct when stating that the water temp was a big factor. I new my water was not hot eneought totrip the cycles, sos meke sure you turn on te taps
Thank you seems to be working! Stew
I now have clean dishes! It worked for me the first time. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much this
fixed the flashing clean light. So happy!!!!

Hi, the reason why you are getting the flashing light is because the dishwasher failed to detect a 4 degrees rise in the water temp during the first 8 minutes of the cycle. Some reasons for this is a faulty heater, door switch,(heater runs through the nuetral side of the door switch), lack of water, d/w not filling correctly, should be just below heating element. Clear the fault by pressing heated dry,- normal,- heated dry,- normal. This will put you in the diag mode. Just let it do it's thing from there. It would help a lot if you run the hot water at the tap before starting the dishwasher after you clear the code..hope this gets you on your way..

It sound like a water supply problem to the dishwasher. Check first that water supply pipe isn't bend. Water supply to the dishwasher is done through an electromagnet valve,loocated at the pipe's enterance to the machine. Test that it get power (with a multi- meter). In case it get power and dosen't work - You can easyly open the valve and clean it (from scale or other dirt). Be aware you should disconnect the power cable from the machine before doing it !!!!! Check as well for valve's coil resistance. In case you have no resistance measurement - you should replace for a new valve. Good luck !

OUTSTANDING!!
I had the exact problem and this tool worked perfectly.
Thanks a ton,
I saved almost $150 on a part (element) and a service call.
I originally called Sears Service for a call, I told them the problem and set a date for a week away.
After doing the arranging I called a Local Repair and the Service Tech told me of Fixya and mentioned a reset sequence to fix my problem.
He/They would have serviced it this evening, but he told me to first try the reset. I can hear it running a cycle as I type in the background.
Amann Appliance Service in Hamilton Ontario Canada was perfect.
Thanks a ton,

From what I have read elsewhere, the interrupt *may* have something to do with a thermostat circuit cutting out if the entry hot water is too high ( more than 145F) - it seems like a buggy safety feature i.e. the circuit board thinks that the water heater is overheating. The makers have apparently made changes to the control board to fix this bug but it costs serious $$$ to get a repairman in and buy the new board.
I prefer to use the reset code

Thanks for solving the problem my dishwasher was having!!!

Okay, I tried all of the above and each time I try to run the DW., it will stop at the dry cycle and the clean light flashes green 7 times and I have to start all over to reset it. I did call a repairman and he came out and said I need a new heat element. Then, when the company called to set up date and time to fix it, they claim that 2 parts were needed...heat element and the board and the whole thing was going to cost $279.00. I just had my kitchen remodeled and can't help but think this has something to do with when the put the DW back and hooked it up. It worked fine up until that point. The repairman says it's just a coincidence. Now I'm wondering...?? I just don't trust repairmen in any trade really.
Sorry, but that's how I feel being a woman and feeling that we get taking advantage of many times.

Usually answered in minutes!
light flashes 7 times then pauses and blinks 7 times again, and keeps repeating., tried shutting off breaker for 20 minutes to reset, no good
the(green) clean light keeps flashing and will not stop. I tried unpluging and did not work.
clean light flashes...won't start the dishwasher
I had the same problem with the clean light flashing.
Thanks to biggfish the problem has now been fixed.
Thanks. This works
Does anybody know what the reset code is for Kenmore Elite Ultra Wash Dishwasher (model 665.165592)? Our model does not have a "Hot Rinse" button. I've tried other buttons in combination with the Normal Wash button but have not yet discovered the correct combination. Thanks
last night I started the dish washer an it didn't even start the light flashes clean but it is no what the hllllll
