My kenmore elite dishwasher (5 yrs old), will not run properly. I can use the cancel function and sometimes it will actually start on normal. Have tried to reset it using directions and it will work sometimes. Now it will not work on anything but cancel "drain" mode. Is there a reset button somewhere?

Worked great on my Kenmore thanks for saving me Big bucks!!!! jim Not sure if will work for all kenmore's, but this has worked on my Kenmore Elite quite guard 5.

Repeat the following button sequence:
High Temp Wash, Heated Dry
High Temp Wash, Heated Dry

All lights will turn on.

Hit 'Cancel'

Now run through a 'Quick Clean' cycle and see if you've still got an error blinking/flashing light at the end of it. If not, you do not have a system/board problem. Just an apparent 'reboot' fix was in order.

Your machine should have reset now. You just saved yourself a $95 service call.
