I have the same problem with my Kenmore 665.1659200 dishwasher.
To keep it working when stuck at 76 minutes and at 42 minutes, I put it into diagnostics mode by pressing "HI TEMP SCRUB" , "AIR DRY" , "HI TEMP SCRUB" , "AIR DRY". And then I press the "ANTI BACTERIAL" or "POTS PANS" button which causes the machine to skip to the next part of the cycle.
Prior to encountering this problem, my dishwasher emitted an electrical burning smell which I have traced to the thermal fuse inside the front control panel. The fuse still works, but is visibly charred from an overheat event. I suspect that the problem may be the heating element or thermistor or motor.
Have you found a resolution to this problem?
