Kenmore Dishwasher

[Brenda Wagner]

I am having trouble with my Kenmore dishwasher which is about 1 1/2 years old. The "Clean" light keeps flashing and I cannot get the dishwasher to run. Any suggestions?

The hot water may not be hot enough. Try running the hot water at the sink until you get hot water, then try the dishwasher.

If not, try turning off the power to the dishwasher circuit or just unplug it for a couple hours to see if it resets.

If not, there is a connector cable inside that connects to the control pad. Disconnect and reconnect it. It may not be well seated and this could improve the connection.

If not, it could be a failed control panel.
