Hi Doc!

You know? If I had to postulate an educated guess, I'd wager that your dishwasher's (DW) drain hose isn't hooked up properly under the sink. When it's not hooked up right, water from the sink will siphon down into the DW making you think that there's a problem with the DW when in reality the problem is elsewhere. Kinda tricky, huh?

Anyway... I put together some photo's that show the incorrect installation and the correct installation of DW drain hoses. Check it out.


The downward sloping hose allows water from the sink to go to the DW.


The "loop" (actually called a "vacuum break") won't allow water to go to your DW.

Here's a schema of the layout...

So the drain hose from the DW always has to loop upwards to keep gravity from weilding its' wicked hand and drawing water down to the inner most depths of your dishwasher.

So, that's the first thing to check, Doc. (<---- that was my Uncle's name, btw. He owned and operated a microwave repair shop back in the late 70's.) If you find the hose under the sink looks like the first pic, just loosen the clamp, pull as much slack from the DW as you can, form a loop like in pic #2, tighten the clamp (to hold it in place) then tie off the hose to a stationary location (like the hot or cold line feeding your faucet)

There ya go! Fixed! Ain't it cool? How easy was that? What about 20 minutes? Maybe less? All you needed was a 5/16" nutdriver and some tape! Too cool.

Don't forget to rate me, OK? My self esteem is counting on you.

Oh! If you find that the drain is properly installed, let me know. We'll go deeper into the solution, OK?

Hello. There should be no water left in the bottom at the end of the wash cycle. There are a few possible causes, the most common one being debris in the small pump that pumps the water out of the machine and into your sink drain, or debris in the hose vrom the dish washer to the sink, or a blockage where the dishwasher empties into your food disposal [if you have one installed].

Look inside of the dishwasher to be sure that the tubes leading to the spray arms are not disconnected. If those tubes are in place, then the problem is with the main motor/pump in the base of the unit. That Kenmore part is about $150.00 plus labor. That being said, it may be time to consider a new dishwasher UNLESS your dishwasher is less than five years old because there is a five year warranty on the motor/pump. If it is under warranty, call sears repair and they should repair it at no cost to you.

sounds like a stuck key pad since you said the normal wash button flashed.. the other thing is try holding the door shut while you run it.. to see of it is maybe not latching properly..

Hold the control lock in for more than four seconds. See if that works.

yes the door has a safety switch that will keep the machine from starting, this is most likely the problem.

• ok, thanks for the full model number. it is just little micro switches that you have to change. 
  
• You will need to turn off the power to the machine first, possible turning off a breaker.
  
• Then you take off the inner door panel to get to the door latch/switch assembly. It is not too hard but it would be helpful to have someone that is comfortable repairing such things.
  
• remove the bottom kick-plate at the bottom of the machine.
• behind it should be some springs with cables attached to them, unhook them to release the tension on the door ; so you can lay the door all the way down without it trying to lift up while you work on it.
• now you can take the screws out that hold the inner plastic panel. 
• once this is off you should be able to see everything including the little switches.

On the inside of the dishwasher (on the bottom), there should be a little "float" device, which tells the dishwasher when it has put enough water into the tub. Sometimes, this float gets stuck in the "up" position, so the dishwasher never puts any water in, but continues to run anyway as if it did. Try pushing down on the float to unstick it, then start the cycle over and see if it puts any water in.

If it is doing when it is washing, then it likely to be a problem with the pump, but it might just be 'hunting' because the filters are partially blocked. There is the filter that you can see easily, but there is a fine filter underneath that blocks with fine grey lint. Water left in the bottom can be caused by that because the drain pump is past the filter and is on a timer. https://www.google.com/search?q=Kenmore+3380957 ..

If you're experiencing an ERR code and flashing lights on your Kenmore dishwasher model 587, it indicates an error or fault in the dishwasher's operation. Unfortunately, without specific details about the error code or which lights are flashing, it's challenging to provide a precise solution. However, you can try the following troubleshooting steps: 1. Check the owner's manual: Refer to the dishwasher's manual for a list of error codes and their meanings. It should also provide troubleshooting steps specific to your model. 2. Power cycle the dishwasher: Turn off the dishwasher by unplugging it from the power outlet or shutting off the circuit breaker that supplies power to it. Leave it disconnected for a few minutes to ensure a complete power cycle. Then, plug it back in or switch the circuit breaker back on. 3. Check for obstructions: Inspect the dishwasher's interior, specifically the spray arms, filters, and drain pump, for any obstructions such as food debris or foreign objects. Clean or remove any blockages that you find. 4. Run a diagnostic cycle: Some dishwashers have a diagnostic mode that can help identify the cause of the error. Refer to the manual for instructions on how to initiate the diagnostic cycle. 5. Contact customer support: If the issue persists or you are unable to determine the cause of the error, it's recommended to reach out to Kenmore customer support or a qualified appliance repair technician. They will be able to provide further assistance and help resolve the problem. Remember, the specific steps and options may vary depending on your dishwasher model. Consulting the owner's manual is always the best course of action when troubleshooting appliance issues.

By the serial number provided, this KENMORE product was manufactured October 2012. Best to you.

Unfortunately, that sounds like a control board issue, although if you are lucky, it is just bad connections _to_ the control board. They are expensive so need correct diagnosis by a tech. Then you get warranty on the parts and the job.

Question edited for clarity, 'Manuel' is the name of a Spanish gentleman, a 'manual' is what you want. :>D June 1999 possibly. Dates are decoded from the Serial Number. This is the closest manual it is a 655 series 159****
