How do I fix a flashing Start/Resume light on a Kenmore Elite dishwasher model 665.13793K601?

I have a Kenmore Elite dishwasher 665.13793K601 and the Start/Resume button just blinks continuously. Before, it would run fine, just not drain. Replaced both circuit boards and after turning power back on the Start/Resume light flashes continuously. Tried a couple reset sequences found on different help sites that did not work. When other buttons are pushed, they will start flashing also. Is this a problem with the new control board, a stuck button possibly? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

These dishwashers are known to accumulate moisture in the keypad and then short. The solution that I have seen is to replace the keypad...It is possible that all of your issues with this dishwasher could point back to the keypad. After spending $$$ on the circuit boards, do you want to throw and additional $135 for a keypad? or replace the whole unit? Food for thought. Here is a link for you:

SOURCE: Dishwasher's "Pot-n-Pans" light flashing

ga, behind the toe panel on the bottom there should be a tech sheet explaining how to put the dishwasher in the test mode. See if you can enter the test mode. If you can't, you probably have a stuck or shorted keypad. Catriver...post back

I suspect for either of these units that the timer control boards are bad.

SOURCE: Kenmore dishwasher Lock On light flashing

holding the button for four seconds will not do it, you have to hold it until the light stops blinking and
will go back to normal, normall takes more than four seconds to unlock the unit, this is something
the sears repair techs know becouse the are trained on all this things but, they will not share this things, becouse thats how they make money

Hi,

This is due to the water not heating properly. I have put together some instructions on how to reset the control so you can use the dishwasher again and what to check for as to why it failed. Follow the link and let me know if it was helpful.

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.

I have a Kenmore elite dishwasher about 5 years old and it will not start. The clean button keeps blinking green. Tried resetting power and still it will not start.

Makeing sure you have power is my first step.
Ensure the door isn't ajar is another possible fix...(check that door switch.)
Pressing the start / resume button again after these steps are done is all Ive got left.

I hope this helps.

Kenmore Elite Dishwasher clean light ind flashing and won't start

You will have to reset the console. To do this, close the door and press these buttons in sequence...

-high temp wash
-heated dry
-high temp wash
-heated dry

...all the lights will turn on briefly and the machine will start a diagnostic cycle. You can press cancel or let the diagnostic cyle finish (1-2 minutes).
You should now be able to run the dishwasher as normal.
