Kenmore Dishwasher #587.... doing nothing but heat dry

Filled dishwasher, sounded like it ran through a cycle but noticed that 3 hours later it was still on Heat dry.... when I opened it some of the plastic had melted and nothing was clean. Tested again and there is no water running through the DW but the heat works.... believe me!

    After running the dishwasher through a wash cycle, I find that all the dishes are still dirty, and the soap is now lying in a pile near the float thing at the bottom left corner. The heat and water do work.

    I have an LG LD1403W1 dishwasher and the other day we had a smell (burnt plastic) it took some time to locate the source, but found it was the dishwasher. I removed the front panel and the actuator coil that opens the vent for the drying fan had fused and melted. removed and replaced, all OK. have run the unit through a cycle and the fan did not seem to operate, have checked the LG service manual and opperated in test mode, the fan is not operating, could this be deeper (PCB)? or something else?

    Thanks,
    Dave

The problem appears to stem from the float and float switch. The float is a mushroom shaped plastic part that resides on the bottom left, just inside the door. It appears that the float does not release the float switch, causing the dishwasher to think it is full of water, and won't allow the dishwasher to fill. It's a relatively straight forward repair, but even with a new part, the same scenario is likely to repeat itself until the float or float switch is modified by Kenmore.

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? We are having this exact same problem with a brand new dishwasher.

I have Kenmore 665.16032401 dishwasher. This morning, there was a puddle of water on the floor and the dishwasher was filled with water. What part do I need to replace?
The valve or circuitry that allows water into the machine is fubar and needs trouble checking.

I have a kenmore dishwasher 587 model. It went through a wash, the clean light is on I unload the dishes and it won't run again unless I use the breaker in the basement. I tried holding down the heat...
It might be a safety switch on the heater in there, most of the time they usually only reset after the temperature has dropped but some will reset with the power being cycled. I am furnace repair man myself, and that's what I'd suspect. Either that or there is some other safety switch that is locking it out that only resets with the power being shut off.

Frigidaire FDB520RHB Dishwashers : We bought this dishwasher about 3 months ago. Today I ran the washer before I left to do errands and when I returned, I believe the washer had finished its cycle. But...
Try to run the dishwasher on a short cycle like rinse and see if it finishes the cycle.

It is likely the heater or hot water temperature is not reaching the desired level and this could cause the extended wash cycle. Feel water temperature inside dishwasher after some time. If cold then it is the heater not working. Perhaps try without Heat Dry Cycle. That will also extend the cycle if heater is not working well.

see cycle diagrams in the page 2 of this sheet. Gives you and idea how Heater Delay affects cycle times.

How to reset a Kenmore 668.1687582 dishwasher
Yes, depending on the model, and the buttons that your dishwasher has, try the following key sequences:
Heated Dry - Normal - Heated Dry - Normal; or
High Temp - Air Dry - High Temp - Air Dry; or
Hi Temp Scrub, Energy Saver Dry, Hi Temp Scrub, Energy Saver Dry; or
High Temp Wash, Heated Dry, High Temp Wash, Heated Dry). You will know that you have entered the diagnostic cycle when all the lights light up for a few seconds.
On some of the newer Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid dishwashers, you start the diagnostic cycle by rapidly pressing the 3 left-most keys in the following sequence: 1 2 3, 1 2 3, 1 2 3.

Won't stop cleaning to go to dry
I have not worked with this Kenmore model, but:

It would be good to check the heating element to make sure it has not failed. Some dishwashers will wait forever for the water to come up to temp before it goes to the next cycle.

If the heating element checks out:
-IF it has a knob/dial that you turn to start the dishwasher on any cycle, that timer/controller has most likely failed.

-If your dishwasher does NOT have a dial as described above, then the main controller card (PCB) has most likely failed.

Dishwasher runs for 3 hours
You may be running the sani-wash or heated drying. The heat element in these things takes a long time.

Check these and turn them off - then try another wash cycle and time it to see - should be one hour or less

Kenmore dishwasher 58715142400 fills but doesn't wash
Motor has gone out..just like mine...Make sure u have voltage going to the motor, (disconnect the plug from the motor) and use an electric meter to make sure you have voltage going to the motor. If so the motor has either gone out or has been blocked by something! If no noise except clicking then motor has gone out. Looking at about $150 for motor.
