Increase your Kenmore Elite's dishwasher temperature to eliminate blinking lights.
The Kenmore Elite dishwasher is an advanced model that uses a control panel to indicate its cleaning progress and normally displays a solid-colored light when the appliance is running normally. A low water temperature, during the cleaning cycle, will wash, but not sanitize, the dishes and blinks the sanitizing light to notify you of a low water heater temperature. A high water temperature is required to remove bacteria from plates and glasses and requires immediate attention.
Instructions
1. Pull open the dishwasher's door slightly to pause the cleaning cycle then pull the door down once the appliance comes to a complete stop.
2. Turn the Rinse Aid knob to "Refill" and remove the cap if the Liquid Detergent display lights up a tab next to "Add." Pour no more than 5 ounces of detergent into the detergent dispenser then replace the cap back into position.
3. Turn the Dispenser knob to "Lock" and close the dishwasher's door. Press "Cancel/Drain" twice to reset the dishwasher.
4. Press "Normal Wash," "1 Hour Wash" or "Smart Wash" then select "High Temp" to increase the temperature of the dishwasher.
5. Push "Start" to begin the cleaning cycle.
