    My lock light is on and I am unable to unlock it. I tried pressing the air dry button for 4 seconds but that didn't do anything. Is there a way to reset?

According to my ultra wash dishwasher you have to hold the no heat dry button for 4 seconds and that is how you lock and unlock the control panel

Kenmore Ultra Wash dishwasher displayed locked and will not start?

Look under the machine for a bag, with the
diagnostic manual, they don't want you to
know about,so you can wait two weeks for someone
you pay, to arrive,by then you will have it repaired yourself

Kenmore ultra wash D/W wont start. can cancel things but wont start no heat light and lock on light alternates.

Well, I could be wrong, but is sounds like a bad control module or control console (keypad).

Kenmore ultra wash dishwasher

Look carefully at your dishwasher keyboard, to see what key is nearest (above or below) the lighted lock symbol. Usually it's the Heated Dry button. Whatever it is, press and hold that key for 5 seconds. That should unlock you dishwasher and you can now use it normally.

My Kenmore Elite Ultra Wash Dishwasher keeps shutting off before entering the cycle. I have repositioned dishes, even emptied it, changed cycle and tried everything. When I press the start light flashes...

I too had problems with the Kenmore Elite (aka Bosch). The issue was solved by replacing the Lock Sensor on the door. After replacing the sensor the dishwasher has been working. Hope this helps.

Normal wash light blinking, d/w wont start

Wish I could solve this, as I'm having the same problem too. Normal light blinks not matter which wash button is pressed. Cancel light will light, but still NOTHING happens. Same model as yours.

Kenmore Ultra Wash Dishwasher Problem

there is no real way of checking the keypad. Not with a meter but if you push normal wash for example and it does not respond this usually means that you have a bad keypad

Kenmore ultra wash quiet guard 3 dishwasher problem

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
