Recently, a visitor stumbled onto the open door on our dishwasher (Kenmore Ultrawash). Since then, the door has been hard to open at times. Yesterday, I pulled the unit out from the cabinet some to look at the hinges. I tweaked them slightly to aleviate the binding problem. Now, when we latch the door, the display comes on as normal-70 on the large display and the light above the miser button on. After about 5 seconds, the 70 turns off, and the miser light starts blinking. If I press any buttons, the pots and pans light starts blinking, and that continues until I open the door, press the cancel button or cut the power. If I press the cancel button twice, the drain pump starts and runs for a minute or 2. I think the unit is level. Any suggestions?
Well, I had pulled that plug before, but I looked at it again. It isn’t a blade type plug. It is a pin type plug, and I couldn’t clean it with an eraser. I looked at the plug and the pin terminal with a bright light and a magnifier and they are clean. Still doing the same thing.
Another person had suggested testing the switches on the latch. They tested good. Is there a reset method on this unit that I should know about? I have turned the power off for more than an hour with no results.
