K Lester for Model Number 665.13833K601 Hi, My kenmore dishwasher - 665.13833K601 - stopped running cycles and now the normal light continues to flash. No lights work when the corresponding button is pressed (there is a faint glow behind all the buttons) except cancel, which then starts to flash along with the normal light but eventually stops, leaving only the normal light flashing. I've tried turning the power off as well as running diagnostic tests & although the dishwasher cycled through, I had no idea what I was looking for. I called a technician out who didn't tell me exactly what the problem was (he mentioned it could be several things - control panel or 1 of the 2 control boards) but quoted me a price so inflated, that I could just buy a new dishwasher. I'm decently handy, so I'm trying to find a solution that I can do myself before just buying a new unit. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
Answer K Lester, You most likely have a faulty key pad on the control panel " PROBLEM: Won’t Run and LED Above Key(s) is Flashing Rapidly > Short circuit(s) in keypad or in control’s input lines that read the keys.> Don’t replace both: See first section of“Checking Keypad Operation” for test to determine whether shorts are in the keypad or the control." Having run the diagnostics test with no issues, the control board is OK. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, April 26, 2013
