To reset the Kenmore 12413 665.1241 dishwasher, press the 'Heated Dry' button followed by the 'Normal Wash' button in quick succession, repeat this sequence twice. Then close the door and press 'Start' to reset the cycle.
Check for clogs in the drain hose and ensure the garbage disposal is clear. Clean the filter and drain area inside the dishwasher. If the problem persists, inspect the drain pump for any blockages or damage.
To clean the filter, remove the bottom rack, locate the filter at the bottom of the dishwasher, twist it counterclockwise to remove, then rinse it under warm water to remove debris. Reinstall by twisting it clockwise until secure.
Ensure the door is fully closed and latched. Check that the dishwasher is properly plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Inspect the control panel for any error lights or messages.
Make sure dishes are loaded properly, avoid overcrowding, and check that the spray arms can rotate freely. Use the right amount of detergent and check for any blockages in the spray arms or filters.
To adjust the rinse aid settings, open the dishwasher door and locate the rinse aid dispenser. Turn the dial to the desired setting, higher numbers dispense more rinse aid for harder water.
Check for loose items in the dishwasher or debris in the spray arms. Ensure that the dishwasher is level and not touching cabinets or other kitchen fixtures. Inspect the motor and pump for any visible wear or damage.
It is recommended to clean the filter and spray arms monthly. Wipe down the door seals and interior surfaces with a damp cloth regularly, and run a cleaning cycle with dishwasher cleaner every few months.
Ensure that the rinse aid dispenser is filled. Use the 'Heated Dry' option if available. Open the dishwasher door slightly after the cycle completes to allow steam to escape and aid in drying.
A white film is usually caused by hard water. Ensure that the rinse aid dispenser is filled and consider using a water softener or dishwasher cleaner designed to remove mineral buildup.
