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.
