I have a Kenmore Ultra wash Quiet Guard 3 dishwasher and the green flashing light that states its clean stays on and stays flashing. I have turned off the breaker , hoping it will reset its self and the light still stays on I can not even get it to start a wash cycle. please help.
Call sears, 1-800-4MY-HOME. They have a trouble-shooting department that will get rid of this problem. It is caused by water temperature being wrong at the start of the cycle.... blah, blah, blah. The representative will tell you to push a certain set of buttons in a certain order and that unlocks the dishwasher.
Sorry I don't know the sequence

D'oh!!! Found the magic 4 button sequence that resets the dishwasher at this site. Dang, the dishwashers even have computers/brains now. The sequence is press Heated Dry, then Normal Wash, then Heated Dry again and finally Normal Wash again. Basically turning both on and then turning them off. Then ALL THE LIGHTS on the dishwasher came on. Looked like a x-mas tree. Hitting the cancel button cleared it.
It still left me with the blinking green clean light but I did "the 4 button sequence" again, waited several minutes with all the lights on and then hit the cancel and now my dishwasher is able to work again. YEAH!!!
Note: I did clean out underneath the filter (required 2 tools) which had some stuff it it but that didn't fix the problem by itself. May help in the long though. I also found the manual and it said the blinking green clean light is a problem in the heating coil (or a water temperature problem) and suggested calling service. Point is, it the blinking green light returns again, you might actually need service to deal with the real problem that's triggering the flashing green light. Nite and good luck.
Drinks on me! You saved us a $65 service call, not to mention no dishwasher for three/four days until the repairman can get here. Thanx for the "secret" codes - heated dry then normal wash ... heated dry then normal wash.
The sequence of "Press Heated Dry, press Normal Wash, then press Heated Dry again and press Normal Wash again (that's 4 button-presses)" worked for us. Many thanks!
It worked!!!! Thank you so much :)
it worked for me too!!!!

Have kenmore quietguard3 ultra wash dishwasher. have the same problem with green light flashing and cannot run the dishwasher. would appreciate help w/o having to call repair. thanks. i see something about a sequence? thanks!
I have a kenmore ultra quietguard 3 and the clean light is flashing. I do not have heat dry option on my dw just air dry is that what i should use for the 4 code sequence instead of heat dry? I want to correct the problem! I tried using the air dry and going normal wash air dry, normal wash and then air dry but nothing! Do i need to unplug the dw and try again or what? Help!!!
Help! Mine is locked and i cant get it to do anything. Heated dry and normal wash are lit but so is lock on and the start button is flashing.
Yes thank you very much, your 4 sequence code is awesome, just what a busy parent like me needed to get my dishwasher jump started.
The tech used the same code on ours. He said it is from running dishwasher while using sink. Not being able to drain properly is the cause. To avoid it don't use sink while dw is trying to drain.
Press Heated dry, normal wash, heated dry, and normal wash again. Worked for us. Saved us a service call. You would think they would have that in the manual. Guess they need the servical money. Dishwasher is probably preprogrammed to do that after 3 years or so.
If the clean light flashes 7 times it's an error code telling you that there's a heat problem, it will be either the heater or computer board is bad,if you remove the bottom kick panel you'll find the tech sheet inside the plastic bag,it will tell you how to read out the heater from the board,if the heater is good most likely the board is bad.i see people just resetting the board,yes it will run but after 7 loads it will start over again,it's an error code
The sequence totally worked and now I'm my parents favourite child!!! Well I'm the only child but still.....brownie points!

I have a Kenmore ultra dishwasher and the washing light is blinking and i can't get it to start a new cycle. I don't have the heated wash button, so the sequence won't work. I did push sequence wash / air drylock buttons and all it does is cause the quick wash button to blink.
The buttons I have are :
under cycles
pots/pans, normal wash, water miser, china gentle, quick rinse
under options
high temp wash, sani rinse, air dry.
DO you have a solution to reset my dish washer?
I have the same problem. Any solutions?
I had the same problem as tulu93's and jeanlea's 4 button sequence worked! Thanks so much Fixya!!
Tried the sequence and the dishwasher runs for a short amount of time (5-10 min), and goes back to the clean light blinking.
Same problem here but the sequence fixed it. THANKS!
no lights on or flashing and will not turn on
I have the Ultra Wash Quiet guard 4 model. The "Clean" green indicator light flashes 7 (seven ) times, pauses, then flashes 7 times again. It will not start despite having unplugged and replugged it in. Any idea what the problem is or how to reset it??? Thank you in advance!
the sequence worked!! Awesome.
Exact same problem here. The sequence seems to have fixed it -- which is a good thing seeing that we have family coming for Thanksgiving today!
thank you thank you thank you!! worked like a charm....was ready to pull my hair out!! or the little left that my husband has!! :-)
i had the same problem of the clean light flashing - i used the 4-button sequence and it worked - awesome - I didn't want to pay for a service call!
I have a Kenmore Ultra wash Quiet Guard 3 dishwasher and the green flashing light that states its clean stays on and stays flashing. I can not even get it to start a wash cycle. please help.
What is the button sequence that everyone is talking about that clears this?
Thank you.
I just saw this sequence trick! I'm gonna try it for sure.
I'm wondering if I need to press the 4 buttons simultaneously or one at a time, in that order...?
W just moved into a rental that has the Kenmore Ultrawash Quietguard 3. The sequencee
did you ever get an answer I have the same problem just have air dry
it works ...hopefully lol
There are not any display lights when turned on but it still washes
has power. will not run. wash indicator light is flashing.
Lately, when using the dishwasher it leaks water everywhere. It comes right under the main front panel. Could be the water level getting to high because the base isn't draining well or the rubber lining?
water everywhere on floor when running wash
