Kenmore Elite Dishwasher Won't Start

I have a Kenmore Elite Dishwasher, model #665.16983201. One day, it would not start, and one of the lights was blinking (I can’t remember which one). Then all of the sudden, it started to work again - once. Then it completely stopped - no lights would turn on when the buttons were pushed.

I read how to reset the dishwasher, so with the door open, I hit: Hi temp scrub - air dry - Hi temp scrub - air dry. All of the lights turned on at the same time. I closed the door, hit cancel, and the dishwasher ran through some sort of cycle for a few minutes. When it was done, I tried running it - this time the lights would turn on when I pushed the buttons, but the dishwasher still won’t start.

Can you help me diagnose this? thanks!

Hi,

I would remove the access panel below the door.
Look for and read the tech sheet. Then run the dishwasher through the diagnostic cycle to test it.
