    we also have continuous problems with our Kenmore elite dishwasher. Control panel has burning plastic smell when in use. Replaced the part twice already, now we are having the same problem, dishwasher is only 4 years old. It is basically a large paperweight in our kitchen right now.

    Out of the blue, our clean button flashes and a dishwasher repair person told me which buttons to push to clear it but I can't remember which ones and now it is happening again.

    My kenmore elite (energy star) control panel is blinking and the dishwasher will not start. We have had this problem since we purchased the dishwasher and we have already have the control panel replaced about a year ago.



    Any suggestions. A control planel is over $100.

    cleaning light now blinks over and over, and wont start, Kenmore elite SS model

  • liteck Dec 26, 2008

    The control panel "clean" light is flashing and the dishwasher is not operating properly. Very dirty dishes! I tried turning it off and then on and restarting it with no positive results. We have had this dishwasher fixed two times over the last few years and have already spent more money fixing it than it cost new. Purchased in 2003. Help!

I had the same problem when I bought it and it just happened again; the problem is solved by ressting the control panel: Hi Temp ---> Heated Dry two or three times. It kind of goes into a testing cycle and the clean blinking light goes off.

    I had this problem and pressing the 2 buttons worked BUT after a bout 4 washes I am now looking at a non-blinking / non-lit (at all) machine which looks like there is no power to it. I have checked the breakers and they are fine- any ideas?

Kenmore elite dishwasher cancel is on constantly, no other buttons will work.

Hey, I have a 5 year old Kenmore Elite dishwasher also. Mine started acting up and couldn't figure out why. I finely unplugged it for an hour and plugged it back in, it reset the Electronic broad inside and will work till it happens again. I tried tracing the wires down with the wiring Schematic and couldn't find anything like some kind of fluke some how but unplugging it and waiting works for my problem so who knows it night do it for you and save some big bucks. It's only happen maybe 5-6 times in 3-4 years since new and was out of warranty of course, but I trusted Kenmore for years and years but it works fine after doing that and I'm not calling a repairman for it. I hope it might help, like I said who knows right. Okay. Ben

How do I cancel the 4 hour delay wash on the control pannel. it is a Kenmore Elite dishwasher model 665.1392

Press cancel. If the 4 hour delay is still lit, you have a shorted control panel.

Kenmore elite dishwasher wont work

Remove the console panel with T15. then remove the cover from the main control board. top right of center of the main control you will see a removable fuse, either a black disc with a black and a black/w white strip connected. remove one wire from the thermal fuse and check for continuity. if it is open replace it. if it is not open call for service.

Check the continuity of the thermal fuse. It's clipped onto the electronic control inside the console.

Dries clothes but runs too long & clothes VERY hot

Fixable and possibly a warranty claim. The timer is bad. You will need to get behind the control panel and remove the timer and replace the timer. First I would call whoever it is that yall bought the dryer through and see how long your warranty is. Most of the warranties are only 1 year. But if you bought a extended warranty then you are covered. The part can be found at repairclinic.com

Kenmore Elite 17483 Dishwasher Caught Fire!

Had the exact same problem (Control panel burning up, sparking, and smoking during wash cycle) last night with our Kenmore Elite DW model 665.16293400 purchased Nov. 2004. I have reported it to the CPSC and www.kitchenaidfire.com and will be contacting Sears first thing tomorrow. It is outrageous that this problem is apparently so widespread with nothing being done about it! I have no doubt my kitchen would have been in flames if I had not been sitting right here to shut off power to the D/W.

Kenmore Elite Range/Oven problem.

My kenmore glass top stainless steel slide in range has an error message code F93. I was attempting to allow my range to self clean when this err message appeared. Now I can't get the door unlocked. Help?? We've had a lot of problems with this range. We've had the service tech come out probably 4-5 times for different things. I think I got a lemon. It just turn a year old-we extended the warranty . I've called to complain but I got no help. They said it had to be for the same problem each time. Even the tech said the oven was a lemon but he couldn't help us. Any suggestions?
