How can I turn on only heated dry on kenmore dishwasher ultra wash 1389?

  • n_cullen Dec 30, 2009

    I have a lot of plastic cups and they do not get dry at the end of the cycle so I blot them dry a bit - I would like to turn the heated dry back on to complete the job. I could turn the dry back on when I had a dishwasher with a knob instead of the buttons

What do you mean only heated dry the dishwasher does dry with heat only,if you hear the pump coming on every now and then it is draining excess water that will drip from dishes and also is the result of condensation.

    I see what you are saying,the newer washers with buttons can not be set to a certain part of the cycle it is pre programed to start and finnish a cycle,but the plastic goods not getting dry could be a result of no or not enough rinse-aid being used,check the rinse-aid dispensor where you open the lid to fill with rinse-aid you will see a dial that you can set it should be on about number 2 if it is on two then set to three and give it a try it may solve your problem you should not need to go higher than four.

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.

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

Kenmore Ultra Wash Dishwasher LIghts are blinking....

I just read this for the same problem: push sanitize, then heat and dry, sanitize, heat and dry, sanitize, heat and dry, cancel, then open and close the door. It worked. The dishwasher is running correctly even as I type this.

Clean light keeps blinking and I can't start a new cycle

Puppa, 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. Catriver...post back
