Kenmore Elite dishwasher Smart Wash light blinking
Sanitize Blinking Light
Some Kenmore dishwashers have a sanitize feature; when this light blinks, it means the sanitization step failed because the hot water in the dishwasher did not achieve the desired temperature or the final rinse cycle was interrupted.
First unclog your sink drains and the drain hose from the dishwasher. Once you are certain they are clear... Then you can do a couple things to remove the water. dip it out, or siphon it out.... or perhaps use an electric pump.
If it is connected to a disposal remove the drain hose and check for a restricted area in the hose or disposal this is common also check the drain hose for kinks be sure to elevate the hose before the drain area. If the drain hose is clear and the drain is clear then you could have a bad drain pump in the dishwasher.Most problems are a restricted drain or hose
I assume you mean it stopped in mid cycle and is now dead. If this is the case you will need to turn off the power to the dishwasher and remove the screws holding the front control panel There is a thermal fuse clipped to the front of the control panel Check it using an ohmmeter or continuity tester If it is open you will need to replace it with a kit containing the fuse and wire connectors Do not replace just the thermal fuse the problem will surely return. Also inspect the control board for burned areas.If the control board is burned you should replace the wiring harness with the control assembly
I think you are talking about the air gap on the sink. If so, the drain line to the disposal or drain is plugged or pinched .clean it out and problem solved.
Unlock dishwasher if locked by holding heated dry button for about 4-5 seconds next quickly hit the following buttons in successive order heated dry, normal wash heated dry then normal wash this should run diagnosis of the unit. Wait about2 minutes then press the cancel/drain button this should reset it and restore operation be sure to check that water supply is on and the drain is clear or you may get the code again.
