You may need a new control panel. I had to replace it 5 times.....fifth time's the charm I hope. Having problems with KA refrig......I am off this brand.

Hi, There is a small black push-button on the plastic housing, you press it to go through all the 'blinking' sequences, and one of them is OFF. Just keep pressing it slowly, its there.

There is a small hole on the side of the Striiv....put the end of a paperclip in there and push. That will reset the unit.

You'll get an instruction manual. It comes with an attachment for your faucet so it can couple with the water's input/output. I preheat the water after connecting to faucet, turn on hot water and use red button (release valve) until it's coming out hot. Then choose your cycle and push start. There is a 10 second delay before it starts. You leave the water on until it beeps several times, telling you it's finished. You turn off dishwasher, turn off water, push the red release button on coupler (releases any water pressure) then you uncouple and then I pull the hose upward from the back to drain water still in hose. Certain cycles heat the water so you'll want to pull open the door and let the steam out and the dishes (hot) will finish drying. The manual is not written well, but it's not rocket science, so you'll figure it out. But you leave hot on until it finishes the cycle (also, the red light that flashes while running, goes solid red when cycle is over). It has a lot of options, so you'll want to read it carefully. But it's a good dishwasher. Which reminds me... I'd better load mine up... again :)

you have to unplug it for a few minutes while you turn the steam control to the 'clean' setting and let some water run through.1) heat up the iron2) unplug it3) hold it over a sink and hold the steam control to the 'clean' setting for a minute or two.4) plug it back in.The "clean" indicator should now be off.

I was looking for exactly that solution. My old faithful has packed it in on the toaster timer and I had a flaming piece of toast when I came back to the kitchen. I just want to replace the toaster shut off...or buy a new unit that will fit in the old under cabinet brackets. Who repairs switches?

same -- I haven't had a problem as of yet, but would definitely try customer service or use another kitchen timer... good luck

I have purchased two. I loved the one I had at home so much, I bought one for work. That's been almost a year. I haven't have any problems whatsoever. Maybe you just got a malfunctioning one. You should contact Kitchen Aid about it. For other KA products I've had for under a year, they have been great about replacing parts.

I found a partial workaround solution for my problem (like yours) of the unit turning off a few seconds after turning it on. I press (and hold) the Stop button, and then the On button, and continue to press them both until the blue SA-CD light and the blue MultiChannel light go off, and then back on again. After that, the unit works ! Except that the LCD panel remains blank. Many (perhaps all) of the front panel buttons work. I still need to experiment to see if the remote works, and to what extent.Sony gave me the choice of a refurbished unit, or to repair mine, under warranty.

It will stop itself and signal an error code. You will need to untangle it and restart it to continue its cleaning cycle.

I think I solved it. Once you clean it as the manual says you need to reset the system. With it plugged in but NOT turned on, put a paperclip or something in the reset button and press the (I think) Timer button. Should work then. The reset procedure I just described is in the manual right after the cleaning instructions.Thats funny V. Montez, I did the same thing - put it away for a cpl months and finally decided to tackle that damn blinking red light. Its all working well now!

First I'd unplug the Power Head from the outlet, while it's unplugged, take the bulbs out of the light fixture, clean the center flat contact with a small blade screwdriver. Pull the inner contact slightly forward. Reinstall the bulbs. Then plug it back into the outlet, wait a minute and see if the system has reset it's self. If the system doesn't work, you probably need a new control board.

That never happened to mine. Think that must be a problem. Call customer service at KitchenAid.

just use the tare button, it'll reset it to cero no matter if it's got a bowl on or nothing.

It sounds like either a bad connection, or there's a problem with the rheostat. I would unplug the unit, remove the bulb and try to reseat it. If that doesn't work, try a different bulb. If that doesn't work, try leaving the light on at half strength and see what happens.
