do you have a Kenmore dishwasher not
sure what model this is but it's maybe
two years old and anyway it's loaded and
ready to go
but this lock button control lock where
it locks all your controls was on and
every time I hit the start button it
started flashing red and it wouldn't let
me start any of my hit start on any of
the button so anyway I had to figure out
what was wrong and I don't have a manual
and all the other posts were four
different dishwashers so what I did was
you hit pots and pans normal wash one
hour wash one two three one two three
one two three
all those cycles in a row each one three
times I don't know if you have to do it
while the dishwashers shut or not
because I know in order to start it you
have to can't remember it was about an
hour ago and I apparently have no memory
but anyway if you can't get anything to
start before you go calling a repairman
press pots and pans normal wash and one
hour wash one two three one two three
one two three all the lights on this
panel will bright will lighten up and
then it will run through about a twenty
minute cycle and it'll actually run
through a wash cycle and it'll reset
everything back to default settings so
in case you accidentally lock your
control pin
like I did and couldn't wash dishes for
three days that's how you unlock it I
know a lot of them say to press the
heated dry button and whatnot but that
just didn't work for this brand and says
Kenmore here and I geez I can't find a
model number anywhere but it looks like
so it's just plain whites I believe it
came in something else too
maybe and it's got all the panels or the
controls on top but that's how you set a
default on everything let it run for the
20 minutes and then go ahead and start
your dishwasher like so and now I can
actually run it the green lights are on
it's gonna run and no more control lock
what a pain in the butt
I hope that helps you
