THE SANI RINSE LIGHT KEEPS BLINKING AND THE WATER DOES NOT DRAIN SO THE CYCLE IS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE
Hi
have you done some troubleshooting with it? try putting only 1 plate to clean. would it still have the same problem?
i would suggest that if you see the water doesnt drain, check if there are any blockages at the bottom.have it regularly clean as some components in the inside might get particles left from the water and not from the dirty plates.
hope this helps you.
Try opening and sut the door then restart the wash cycle let me know
try opening and shut the door sani blinks if the cycle is interrupted is supposed to go out when door is opened then restart from wash before starting the washer get the water as hot at the sink as you can so ypu dont fill the washer with cold water
ok will do more research and get back to you in a few
try holding the air dry key for 4 seconds
ok hold the air dry key again for 4 seconds
if clearing the lock on doesnt do it then it sounds like you have a stuck key turn the power off to the dishwasher and remove the screws from the inner door panel and raise it up then take the cover off disconnect the ribbion from the control and gently clean it with a clean pencial eraser the ribbion will be a wide peice of plastic there will be a little peice of plastic where it goes into the control that you pull up to unlock the ribbion clean the end of the ribbion and reconnect push the plastic tab back down to lock it and try one more if that doesnt workyou may have to replace the buttons a blinking light is supposed to be a stuck button push the sani button severl times to see if you can free it
if sani is on solid now try opening your door
mary im suspecting a promblem with your heater have you noticed any thing along thoose lines i beleive the promblem is with the heater the thermal fuse or the thermostat its self do you have the technical sheet for this unit
according to what ive read the sani light blinks if the cycle is interrupted when the washer gets to a heat cycle it shuts down power to the timer till the water heats now if we have a problem on the heating circuit say bad heater,bad thermostat,or bad thermal safety fuse then when the unit stalls for water heat and none of the thermostat's close then the control will read this as an interrupted cycle and start the light blinking now in all your travels around the dishwasher did you find the tech sheet isolate the heater circuit find the thermostat and put a jumper wire across the leads to by pass the thermostats then open and close the door if the sani light goes solid then let the washer complete the cycle and replace the thermostats they are under the dishwasher and are tiny discs with an in and out wire find the heater and follow the wires to locate
ps un plug the washer or have the door unlocked to kill the circuit before the jumper wire thing and if it works you cant run the dishwasher this way its just for testing

What model sani is yours please
If you opened and closed the door and it started, that sounds like a bad, door switch in the console.
But you did hear a hum sound when it tryed to drain, it could be the drain solenoid, or the motor/pump assembly.
Take off the bottom access and look at the solenoid when it starts to drain, the piston in the solenoid should move freely, up and down with the white drain flapper that it connects to.
Also check for bad wiring connections at the power junction box where the power hooks up to it under the dishwasher, i have seen the wire nuts either come loose or burn off due to loose connections.
alot pp have problems with this model with control panel going haywire and thermal stat
I did the same thing - hi temp wash, heated dry, hi temp wash, heated dry. It worked well - thanks
had the same problem: a blinking "Clean" light on a Kenmore dishwasher. Actually it would blink 7 times, then pause and repeat. Your trick to put the machine in maintenance mode worked!! The sequence I used was:
Hi Temp Wash, Heated Dry;
Hi Temp Wash, Heated Dry.
It did as you said, cycled through and did its thing for about 4 minutes or so, then finally cleared the blinking green light. It is running now.
clear the fault by pressing the keys in this order: high temp scrb--air dry--high temp scrub--air dry. Or, depending on your model..Sani rinse--air dry--sani rinse--air dry. The dishwasher will enter the service mode. Let it do it's thing or advance it through it by pressing the start key. The fault came from the board not sensing a rise in the water temp. Make sure to run the hot water before starting the dishwasher. The heating element runs through the nuetral side of the door switch so make sure the d/w is level and the door switches are all making. The element itself could be at fault
mark me as fix ya then

The sanirinse keeps blinking and the water is not drained. I cannot even restart a new cycle to troubleshoot . By pressing the normalwash button nothing happens
I opened the door and closed but it does not interrupt the sani light from blinking,and the other buttons including normal wash are disabled, what happens though is that occasionaly suddenly it starts to drain rightnow all the water has been drained,but still I cannot start a new cycle.
actually right now sani rinse and the lock on are both blinking
I have a Kenmore ultrawash Quietguard system
before I read your comment I looked again at the machine and saw that the lock on button has stopped blinking and sani rinse was just on but not blinking, then i followed your instruction and hold the airdry which is on my machine called NO HEAT DRY and suddenly sani rinse and the lock on both started blinking again.
now that I finished writing this again I am looking and seeing that only Sani rinse is blinking. looking at my dishwasher reminds me of watching a pink panther cartoon as a child!!!
actually I did try the key combination and the blinking stopped and I was able to runn a quick rinse cycle to see what happens next .
If ok I will trouble shoot and try to use the normal wash with running the water at the sink to a high temperature first.
will let you know
thanks
after quick rinse the water drained but the problem reoccured. again the sani light started blinking, and all the keys are disabled . I also followed all the other recommendations including cleaning the ribbbon and looking for any blockage in the drain system, everything seemed ok.
