Kenmore Ultra Wash Dishwasher model 665.13779 Flashing light & Unresponsive?
Does anyone know the reset code for model 665.13779? The red lights on the "normal wash" and "cancel" buttons flash and the washer is completely unresponsive. I've found reset codes for just about every model but this one!
As an alternative I tried this, and it seemed to work momentarily. So maybe this will help someone:
1) **very important** Turn the power off (flip circuit breaker or unplug from wall).
2) Open Electronic circuit Control Panel
a) Unscrew 12 star screws on inside of dishwasher front panel.
b) Front panel will hinge open or you can remove it by lifting upward and out.
3) Unplug the 14 Pin Ribbon.
a) You will see two green electronic circuit boards: one on top that connects to the outside buttons; one below it that connect to the main set of wires.
b) Find the 14 pin ribbon on the LOWER circuit boards. There is an extra pin on the board. Note the position of this extra/exposed pin and then pull out the ribbon (just gently grab the plastic ribbon and carefully tug it).
4) Plug the ribbon into the other pin so the the extra pin on the board is on the other side.
5) Turn power back on and wait a few seconds. The lights for the three wash cycles will be on.
6) Turn power off.
7) Reconnect 14-pin ribbon to the same position as it was before. If you forgot what that is plug it in to the lower position leaving the exposed pin on the top.
8) Close control panel and replace front door.
9) Turn the power on.
