An angel of mercy on another blog posted this solution and it worked for me as well. My Whirlpool Quiet Partner Dishwasher would not work due to the CLEAN light flashing in 7 interval sequences. I followed these steps and my dishwasher is not working perfectly...hope it works for you:

"Well for mine which is a Whirlpool Gold Model # GU2400XTPS3, I found the seq of buttons that I had to push to reset the curcuit board. I think it may of been in this forum somewhere. But I had to push - Sani Rinse, Heated Dry, Sani Rinse, Heated Dry, and then the dishwasher went through it's diagnostic cycle and then after that the light stopped blinking and the dishwasher works great. Supposily, there is a Product Tech Sheet behide the kick panel of every dishwasher, but mine was gone so I had to find the information on the internet. You might want to do a serach for the correct seq of buttons you have to push to reset the curcuit board. If you know for sure that the heating element is bad, you will have to order one. "

See "Checking Keypad Operation."

Press the following in sequence...Then try touch pad......
HEATED DRY ? NORMAL ? HEATED DRY ? NORMAL ? HEATED DRY ? ORMAL

here is the deal...if the touch pad is unresponsive after entering the above in sequence then you will need to change out the touch pad.

Try to reset the dishwasher by using this sequence of keys within 6-8 secs.

HiTemp/ heat Dry/ Hi Temp/ heat Dry/ Hi Temp / Heat dry.

If it works all lights should turn on. Press Cancel to exit.

I am assuming you have already tried to turn the mains power off and back on.

If still no difference, then the controller or the panel has packed up.

You can locate the parts from this site.

I'd look at the "spray holes" on the sprayer to ensure no clogs.
Next, ensure tube at the back (if I'm thinking of the correct model) of the top shelf meets with the spout sticking out of the baqck wall of the washer.
