The “clean” light blinks continuously and the machine will not start.
John,
The description you supplied would indicate a problem with the water heating cycle.
You’ll need to check your water temperature, it should be at least 120 dgrs, in the tub on the first fill.
You’ll need to circuit check the heater element for a closed circuit.
You’ll need to check the Hi limit thermostat circuit, to see if it is stuck open.
The easiest way to accomplish that is :
Access the electronic control board, inside the control panel.
With a multi meter check across these two wires, P3 (White w Red stripe) and P9 (Blue with Red stripe) with the wires disconnected from the control board, you should read 10 to 30 ohms if the circuit is proper, if you get no reading ,you’ll need to check those comonents.
If you have those readings, it’s a safe bet;
Your water is not hot enough at the start of the cycle.
You’d have a bad control board.
Your Technical Data sheet, should be attached to the inside of the lower Kick Plate panel, you may need it.
The most common control reset procedure,you’ll need to reset the control, is :

Thanks, Joe! I’ll do the checks/tests tonight.

Bill,
That happens, quite often, sometimes it get’s embarassing, but…
You should have everything checked out, diagnosed in no time,
Drop us a line, if you have any questions, and let us know how things went.
kenmore elite ultra wash 665.17053402
im having the same issue does not appear to clear codes and can not advance through cycles checked element and temp sensor seem ok noticed on controll panel evidance of smoke stain on plasti cover. hope that the problem but worried will smoke again… awaiting part now

doesnt appear to clear codes and cant advance through cycles checked all mentioned parts seem ok smoke residue on plastic cover of control panel hope not to smoke new one that is on the way

Did you do the checks in the previous posts(water temperature,and heater and thermostat resistances) ?
Using the Kenmore prefix numbers, your machine was produced by the same manufacturer, as to the best of my knowledge, the control diagnostics and reset procedure and circuit resistances are common to all units produced.
It is not abnormal to see some discoloration on control boards or shields,andf if you’ve already checked the other components, it could be from the heater circuit on the control board(if or when it failed).
checked all but water temp on first fill cant get it to fill tried reseting not sure if i misunderstood buttons did you mean normal WASH h dry then norm wash or hit h dry 3 times looks like smoke trail by board manual says heater circut thats why i think its board lots of calcium build upon heat element[quote=Joe / APP Team;369681][FONT=Century Gothic]Johnny,[/FONT]

I just wanted to mention that I could not clear the codes and advance through the cylces because I did not have the door completely closed. The door must be fully closed to close the door switch which is part of the heater circuit. After the door was closed tight, I was able to clear the codes.

Thanks Bill,
Johnny, if you follow the programming information in the previous posts, you’ll be fine
Just remember the dishwasher needs to be in “standby” OFF, and the door needs to be closed and locked, when you start.
