I have a 1995 kenmore (whirlpool) dishwasher and the contols locked light is on and won't go out. I have tried pushing the no heat button as the instructions on the inside of the door says but that doesn't clear it. This has been happening off and on for a few weeks. Now it stays on. Dishwasher won't run in this condition. Help fast please. Thanks,

On the new Kenmore Elite dishwashers, you hold down the "HEATED DRY" button for 4 seconds to unlock.

Struggled with this for a weekend, and embarrassingly, the answer to the problem is written right there on the label at the top of the dishwasher door.

That doesn't work in this case . I tried on mine. I removed the inner linner just under the control touch pad and tapping with screwdriver on relays worked for month and again doing same thing. Kamlesh Singh
