Hi,
The blinking always refer to a certain problem. 7 times blinking refers to defective heating element or control board.
USUALLY 99% PEOPLE HAVE FAULTY CONTROL BOARD. YOU WOULD BE LUCKY ENOUGH IF YOU WOULD ESCAPE.
Replace control board, Once replaced would fix the issue.
Hope i helped.
Thanks for using "Fixya".
The blinking "clean light" is a common problem with some of the
Kenmore and Whirlpool models dishwashers. The problem is usually
attributed to water supply temperatures being too low when filling.
Apparently, there are some issues with the temperature sensing circuits
in some dishwashers that causes an error code to be generated if a
certain water temperature is not achieved in a specified time interval
(this time may differ between models). There is a reset sequence that
you can try to clear the fault. Push the NORMAL WASH then HEATED DRY buttons in that sequence two to three times. The unit will enter diagnostics mode, but can be stopped by pressing the CANCEL button. This will clear any existing faults and should return the dishwasher to normal operation.
To keep the fault from returning, it is recommended that you run
your hot water faucet in the kitchen until it runs hot BEFORE you start
the dishwasher. This will heat the water in the supply
line for the dishwasher (most dishwashers are fed from the kitchen sink
supply line). The theory is that if you fill the dishwasher with hot
water from the start of the wash cycle instead of the cool water that
is normally in the lines (especially if you have a hot water tank
located far away from the kitchen), this should satisfy the
requirements of the temperature sensing circuits. If the fault
reappears, there should be a tech sheet located inside the lower panel
under the door that explains what the fault is. The flashing light will
be a series of flashes, followed by a pause. If you indeed have a
component problem, it will depend on the number of flashing lights in
the sequence. Refer to the tech sheet to determine WHAT component is
affected and how to troubleshoot.
Hi
If clean light is blinking then it may be an
issue with heater circuit, door switch or wash pump, please reset the power to
the dishwasher. After, 5 minutes check if you are still getting the same error.
If yes, then it is a water heating fault. To resolve this error try pressing
this reset sequence-- Heat Dry - Normal - Heat Dry - Normal or High Temp - Air
Dry - High Temp - Air Dry or Hi Temp Scrub, energy saver dry, Hi Temp Scrub,
energy saver dry or High Temp Wash-Heated Dry-High Temp Wash-Heated Dry .
Now let the unit run for 2-3 minutes and then you press the Cancel/Drain button
and allow it to completely drain and reset. If this doesn't work then it's an
issue with the wash pump not pumping the water past the heater efficiently or
due to lack of water to heat. Please make sure that heater is not open
circuited and is heating the water efficiently. You'll have to check the heater
using a multimeter; the meter should read between 3000 to 3300 ohms (Use
multimeter on Rx1 ohm setting). If heater is fine then make sure water pressure
is optimum and fill valve is working fine. Hope this helps... Please post
back if you need more information.

Hi
Open the door. Within 3 seconds press the following sequence --Try pressing normal wash, heated dry, normal wash, heated dry, normal wash, heated dry three times within 6 seconds and then press cancel to reset the dishwasher. If that doesn't help then try pressing Saini Rinse, Heated Dry, Saini Rinse, Heated Dry, Saini Rinse, Heated Dry or Saini Rinse, Air Dry, Saini Rinse, Air Dry,Saini Rinse, Air Dry 3 times in 6 seconds and then the Cancel Button. Close the door and press Cancel.
Blinking lights would stop and should be able to use your dishwasher normally. If the light is still blinking try and reset the power to the dishwasher and try again. If still the light is blinking then check for the connections on the keypad, it may be due to moisture or shorted connections on keypad.
Hope this helps... Please post back if you need more information.
