Thread: Quick rinse light blinking

  1. #1

    Quick rinse light blinking

    Model Number: 66517579201
    Brand: Sears Kenmore
    Age: 1-5 years

    If I reset the breaker to my dishwasher. Only the quick rinse light blinks. I can eventually get the washer to wash on the China gentle setting for about 30 seconds and that's after I press the normal wash button. I've tried to find an answer to this but I can only find other models.

    On this dishwasher this indicates a stuck key. This could be caused by a bad touchpad or control board. The touchpad for this model dishwasher is discontinued and no longer available.

    Ok. Do you know what the problem may be? And what part needs to be replaced?

    It is usually a failure of the touchpad but the manufacture no longer sells that part for this dishwasher.

    I cannot find a wiring diagram for this unit but if you can get to the track going to the Quick Rinse key you could try cutting it.

    You would loose Quick Rinse but all other functions would be OK.

    Unless of the problem is with the control board.
