Question about Kenmore 24 in. 16462 / 16464 / 16469 Built-in Dishwasher
I've had this dishwasher for 2 years and it has never been a problem. Just recently I can't set a time delayed wash anymore. I used to hit Smart Wash, then set a time delay, 2,4, or 8 hours, and then hit Start and it would automatically kick on at the right time. Now as soon as I hit Smart Wash the machine starts to run, without even hitting Start. If anybody has a solution it would be much appreciated. Thank you. Ron.
Would your start button be stuck? check to see if there is something keeping it pressed in? if not your control star button could be shorted...let me know

OK if it starts with out pressing start in the other cycles, Antibacterial,Pots & Pans ,Normal Wash , China/Gentle ,Quick Rinse Wash or only in SMART Wash?
Sounds like a bad relay on the control if only in the Smart wash cycle the I would look at the turbidity sensor? hope this is some help... let me know?
Ok you will need a new control the start relay must be shorted .. if the lights flash seven or eight time it is a control error.. hope this helps..

I checked the start button it doesn't seem to be stuck. I think if the start button was shorted or stuck, the machine would start as soon as I closed the door.I'm not sure of that though.Many thanks for the suggestion though.

Hey Krazytech. Yes it does start without pressing Start in all the other cycles as well. Also some lights flash that I'm not sure should be flashing. The red light by the number 4 flashes and the drying light flashes but it still seems to go through a normal wash cycle. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
