Why do I have to shove my Kenmore dishwasher closed to get it to start?

It is a kenmore 665.13593k600. The way I can get it to work is if I shove it closed firmly, then I can get it to start after a few tries. Would a new panel control board help, or something else?

All dishwashers have a switch of some kind to stop them running with the door open, this is most likely the fault .

SOURCE: Kenmore Elite Dishwasher will not start

Consider examine inside there is maybe fuse busted on the panel or in the circuit through the control panel of the machine.

SOURCE: Kenmore Dishwasher, no power

There will be a thermal fuse located on the electronic control board housing that may have failed.This replaceable part (gray or white) is clipped on to the side of the plastic housing.

SOURCE: Front panel on Kenmore Diswasher

Hi jenniferr922,

I'm Harvey the Master plumber.

Your question is: You purchased a white Kenmore dishwasher and you are redoing your kitchen and all of your appliances are Kenmore stainless steel. You were wondering if the front panel was the only replacement or if you needed to order something else for the control panel.

It's your choise. If you like the control panel, keep it. If not, replace it when you replace the white panel.

Feel free contact me again!

SOURCE: Clean light keeps blinking and I can't start a new cycle

That is a comon problem with that model. It is not sensing a temperature change in the water.

Push i believe it is heated dry and sani rinse going back and fourth between the two to clear the code and see if you can get it to complete a cycle. If it doesnt call sears and schedule service there is a service flash repair that should not cost you anything to repair the unit.

Kenmore Elite Dishwasher. The red flap/door on the rinse aid will not stay closed. How do I repair it?

There are many Kenmore Elite models with numerical identifiers. You may be able to replace the rinse aid door, or you may have to replace the whole door, if parts are available.

Kenmore dishwasher won't run

Common solutions for: Kenmore Dishwasher will not start. The door switch prevents the dishwasher from running and working while the door is open. If the door switch is defective, the switch will stop the dishwasher from running even when the door is closed. If the thermal fuse has blown , it will prevent the dishwasher from starting.
Make sure your dishwasher is fully and also securely plugged in and that the circuit breaker switches haven't been tripped. .It also houses the door latch switch that provides the power to the dishwasher controls. If the dishwasher door isn't closed properly, the dishwasher won't receive power to finish a wash cycle You could call a repair person that fixes dishwashers to have a look at it and see what the problem is with the dishwasher

Kenmore dishwasher will not start

The most probable cause is the door latch (or switches in the latch) are not working right, and the controller thinks the door is open, even though it is closed.
