Codes by system
All Kenmore 665 model dishwasher error codes
Codes marked "Reset only" or "Service" have no separate page because the manufacturer publishes no owner fix beyond a reset or a service call.
| Code | Meaning | System | Owner action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clean light Blinks 7 times | Heater circuit failure. Control didn't detect the expected rise in water temperature when the heating element was energized to heat water during the cycle. | Heating | Service |
| Console light Blinks rapidly | The control detects a stuck button on the control panel. A failed control panel or a bad electronic control board can cause this code. | Control / electronics | Service |
| Start/Resume light Blinks slowly | If the dishwasher door is opened or power is interrupted during the cycle, the dishwasher won't start again until the door is detected as closed and the Start/Resume button is pressed. A failure in the Start/Resume button also can cause this problem. | Door / lock | Reset only |
| Clean light stays on | The dishwasher won't start a new cycle unless it detects that the door opened after the previous cycle. | Door / lock | Reset only |
| Control lock LED is on but not accepting key presses, | Accidentally turned on or control detected keypad problem. | Control / electronics | Reset only |
| Sanitized LED Blinks at end of cycle | Control could not confirm Sanitation water temperature was achieved. The heating element must stay on for 10 minutes when heating water for the sanitation cycle and water temperature must reach 150 degrees. | Heating | Reset only |
