Long Delay Before Cleaning Troubleshooting Guides

First determine whether the dishwasher is intentionally counting down a Delay Start or is spending time in a selected cycle, rather than assuming a failed part. Kenmore documents Delay Start on its dishwasher families, with current built-in models allowing a one-to-24-hour start delay, while SmartWash can adjust cycle time and Quiet Wash can add time.
