KENMORE ULTRA WASH 1626

My clean light is flashing and the washer will not run. If I push the start button nothing will happen. I checked my owners manual and it says there is a problem with the heater circuit. I pulled out the eliment and checked continuity and it was good. This dishwasher is 15 months old.

If the dishwasher doesn't sense a water temperature increase, it will stop working and lock the functions (clean light flashes 7 times, all buttons are non responsive). It does this as a safety in case the element is broken and feeding current into the water.

To resolve this you will have to reset the console. Do this by closing the door and press these buttons in sequence...

-high temp wash
-heated dry
-high temp wash
-heated dry

...all the lights will turn on briefly and the machine will start a diagnostic cycle. You can press cancel or let the diagnostic cyle finish (1-2 minutes).
You should now be able to run the dishwasher as normal.

If the issue returns, you could have a problem with the heating circuit (ie. element, thermostat or wiring). It rarely happens but it could also be the door switch not engaging properly when the door is closed (slightly bend the door latch down making sure it doesn't hit the door when you close it).

Kenmore ultra wash dishwasher only half of the lights light up when pressed when press start nothing happens
Do you mean only half of the lights that you push stay on ? If I try to push in too many buttons at the same time, or the cycles I push don't function together, that some of them stay off because they aren't programmed to run at the same time. And the machine is set up to not allow you to expect it to do all the functions during the same cycle.

Kenmore ultra wash HE The "clean" button blinks 6 times, stops, then blinks once. I know it's trying to tell me something. Just don't speak "dishwasher". I try to start it and the start button blinks twice...
reset the panel by hitting normal-- heat dry NOT at the same time until all lights flash then push cancel and it should start.

Kenmore Ultra Wash 665 dishwasher: start button not lighing
It sounds like you have a bad control console, and the problem is that your START button (the most critical one!) is bad. You can't replace just that button or key; you have to replace the entire control console.

Flashing green ''clean'' light and will not start a wash cycle.
the computer senced that the heater did not work last cycle. Push your sani clean, energy saver button s back and fourth a few times. It will run a self diag cycle. let it run for a few min. If it happens again your heater may have burned out.

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

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.
