The dishwasher starts up like normal. It fills with hot water. However it will not move to the next cycle. The dishwasher makes a buzzing sound for 2 minutes and then shuts off. I can then drain it, but nothing else.
Any suggestions on what is causing hte problem? I hate to toss out a good dishwasher if this is only a small problem. However I will not spend several hundred on a repair.
Kenmore Ultra Wash 665.15922 (or 23, 24, 29). Purchased by previous owner in 2002.
Motor trying to start. blockage in pump, or bad motor!
currently working same problem. mine runs after draining and filling 3 times. believe it's temperature related. happens more often in winter. add boiling water and try, to see if temperature is fault. Use drain function after failure due to float sensor turning machine off if too full of water.
temperature reference is for machines that shutoff after filling, buzzing sounds like bad motor.

Hello &
Welcome to FixYa
This problem
is caused when the motor goes bad and needs replacement. The control will fill
water and then sends signal to the motor to start a cycle, if it won't work
then it will drain the water and so won't start the cycle. However, it can also
be a bad door latch-lock assembly as if the control senses that the door is not
closed it won't start the cycle. If you hear any humming buzzing sound from the
bottom of the unit then replace the motor if not then replace the latch
assembly. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

i'm having the same problem with my kenmore washer. water comes in and if I hit cancel it will drain. It won't go past the sensor cycle.
Found a small plastic piece that got through the screens. That jammed the motor which caused the motor to burn out.
Hi-
I believe I have the same problem. Mine is Kenmore model 665. 16582200. Is there a way for me to check the pump for blockage before calling in a repair guy? Thanks!
