Question about Kenmore 24 in. 17019 Built-in Dishwasher

1 Answer

Model 17019 ~ Clean light flashing

My dishwasher is stuck. The clean light flashes constantly, & I can't get it to start a new wash cycle. If you push the "Cancel/Drain" button, then you can hear the pump motor come on for about 20-30 seconds. Then it returns to the inert state, Clean light flashing, & unresponsive. Please help! I know this has to be something simple.

    How do you tell what it is, the element or the board?

    I am experiening the EXACT some problem!

    Clean light is flashing, and cannot cancel it, I cannot get it to start a new cycle.



    When my dishwasher WAS running, it would make this God awful grinding sound, during the cycle (which is quite ironic because it says "Quiet Guard" on it lol)



    It came with the house we bought a couple months ago

    Normal cycle light is constantly flashing. Will not run on this cycle. Appears to run OK on other cycles. Must push buttons several times to change to a different cycle. When flashing light pushed it turns off then comes on 30 seconds later still flashing.

Try pushing heat dry then normal back to back three times. then start. this should clear it up but only temporarily. you have a problem in your heat element or your control board.

The CLEAN light is flashing on my Kenmore QuietGuard3 , but it won't clean anything. It starts a cycle for a few minutes, stops and starts flashing clean again. Any suggestions?
You will have to reset the dishwasher. First try and turn off the mains power and back on after a short time. If the clean light flashing starts again then you go through the hard reset procedure.

press NORMAL WASH then HEATED DRY buttons one after the other until all the lights on the board lit up (3X's). The dishwasher will enter into a cycle; Press Cancel. This should stop the flashing.
If you are supplying dishwasher from hot water inlet then make sure the inlet water temperature stays within the recommended range of 145 deg F.

I have filled dishwasher selected temperature and the start light is flashing but nothing happens I think the m/c type is 7197
The Start/Resume light is flashing

This flashing light indicates that your cycle or start-up was interrupted.
Possible causes: The door opened during the cycle, or the power was interrupted.
To resume operation: Make sure the door is closed, and press Start/Resume.

The Clean light is flashing

You should call for service if the Clean light is flashing and the machine is inoperable. It is normal if the Clean light stays on after the cycle is complete. The Clean light is an indication that the dishwasher has been run and that the dishes inside it are clean. Once the door is opened after the cycle is complete, the light will shut off.

The lights are rapidly flashing

Any key that gets stuck will rapidly flash. Press the key a few times in order to release it or press Cancel.

The Rinse Only light is rapidly flashing

If multiple keys are stuck, the Rinse Only light will flash. Press each key, one at a time, to release the stuck keys, or press cancel.

Dishwasher says dishes are clean but is still stuck in cycle. tried resetting the breaker but no luck. the green light that goes on when clean is constantly flashing but dishwasher is non-responsive. any...
Some dishwashers have some sort of float switch. They can stick , try rocking dish washer if stuck mid cycle, I would make sure the food collect grid at bottom is clear, try flushing machine through with an empty load now and then, you can buy stuff for cleaning dishwasher insides too.

Clean light flashes constanly. Won't clear out to start new cycle
If the clean light flashes 7 times, pauses, then repeats...

When 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 electrical 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).
