Model 665.12783k311. Why does it stop in the middle of a cycle and does not advance?

SOURCE: Kenmore Model 16253 - Stops mid cycle

Sounds to me that the heater is not working, if you have just bought it, it must still be under Guarantee so go back to the supplier.

The top shelf of my Kenmore dishwaher Model 665 will not come clean - the bottom rack is AOK . Can anyone suggest a possible problem - do I need to call a repair person?

Go to your electrical panel and, disconnect the power to your dishwasher for about 1/2 hours when you repower it your DW should be reset

SOURCE: kenmore dishwasher 665.1603 no power stopped in

That dishwasher has a thermal fuse that clips on the control board. The thermal fuse is a safety device, and nothing will run if it is blown. If there is no continuity through it, replace it. They run around $20-$30. If thats not it, remove the kick-plate and check the junction box for loose or fried wires where the wires are spliced together. Also check your house breaker box to make sure the breaker isn't tripped.

SOURCE: kenmore dishwasher has stopped draining.

remove the kick panel below the door, place a pan, etc under where the drain hose connects to the drain extension tube, and slide the clamp back some so you can slide the hose off of the extension tube (white plastic tube) and drain any excess fluid into the aforementioned pan, etc., then unscrew the extension tube and check for plugs, or restrictions.
the sump may also be pluged beneath the strainer assembly, and that requires removing the lower spray arm, the water tube that runs up the inside back of the unit, and the upper parts of the assembly below them to access the drain/pump sump area.
last but not least the impeller is jamed and might be able to be freed by removing whatever has lodged within there..
ya never know...
best of luck,
