Question about Kenmore 24 in. 17012 Built-in Dishwasher

Green ('Clean') light flashing

And the manual says to call the repair service and have them check the 'heater circuit'. Of course this machine has two, for heating the water, and for drying. Any ideas where to look for the problem? The annoying thing is that we never use the heating element to dry dishes, to save energy. But it may be that the sensor does not allow the machine to work if it malfunctions?

Try this: fill the machine with cold water from your garden hose and start it up. the machine should recognize the water full condition and continue to start washing. wait about 7 minutes and stop it. open the door. did the water heat?

Flasjing green lights on an indest dishawasher which is not working

Hi, the flashing green light indicates a fault in the heating circuit of the appliance.

You would require to have, and be able to use, a multimeter to fully test the components. Check the circuit of the heating element (26 ohms).
Check for an open circuit heater cut-out.
Check pressure switch open circuit (connections 11-14).
Check wiring and connections between module card, pressure switch and heater.

If all above is OK, replace module card.
The heater and the module card are the most common causes of the fault. The heater is on the underside of the appliance and is attached to the top spray arm feed tube. The module card is in the facia of the appliance.

The dishwasher will go through a cancel cycle (drain the tub) and will then let you start it up again

My clean light is flashing....call service to check heater?

f 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. Check the element for damage (burnt/shorted).

To clear the flashing light 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 cycle 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).

Depress start button till start light goes out. Close door, drain pump should run for a while. Wait for end of program, rer-try a new program start. This process is re-setting memory.If this fails to sort problem then start checking components, ie: fill valve water on? heaters open circuit/down to earth, drain pump, is it emptying, wash pump.
