May be the drain pump is jammed. Try to clean the area and after that try to reset the panel. Download the user manual and there must be the reset sequence.

Hello I had the same issue the sequence for resetting the panel is;
heated dry...normal...heated dry...normal
all the lights will go on then off. on my machine it started the normal wash cycle. I let it run normally so far this worked.
Hope this helps.

Hello.
Manufactured by Whirlpool, Kenmore dishwashers have an electronic control panel that must be unlocked in order to set or make changes to your dishwashing cycle. If an error light is blinking on your dishwasher's control panel, the panel must be reset before you can gain access. Blinking lights on your dishwasher control panel may signal a mechanical problem that needs to be repaired. If the lights continue to blink after you've reset the control panel, contact Sears to service your Kenmore dishwasher or consider troubleshooting the appliance yourself.
1Press and hold the "Heated Dry" button on your Kenmore dishwasher for four seconds to unlock the dishwasher control panel.
2 Press the "Heated Dry," "Normal Wash," "Heated Dry" and "Normal Wash" buttons one after the other, in fairly quick succession.
3 Wait for the dishwasher to run a short diagnostic test.
4 Press the "Cancel/Drain" button at the end of the diagnostic test cycle. This should reset the control panel on your Kenmore dishwasher.

Thanks.

I found where it was plugged in under the sink. I unplugged it and the lights stopped blinking and the dishwasher worked. I ran one dishload and it ran fine. I ran another one and it stopped at 1 minute to go and the lights were blinking again. So now I just unplug it when not in use. I'm runnin another load and see how it goes...

Hmmm...don't know why this worked, but it did. When the lights were flashing when I tried to start my Frigidaire dishwasher model#FDB1500LF, nothing would happen...just blinking lights, so I went to the house electrical panel, found the switch for the dishwasher, turned off & on again, and now the dishwasher works.
Go figure.

• Close dishwasher door
• press "Hi-Temp Wash"
• press "Energy Saver Dry"
• press "Hi-Temp Wash"
• press "Energy Saver Dry"

run the 'normal' cycle without the hi temp feature
