My dishwasher will not longer work. The clean light keeps blinking. I have pushed cancel and I would drain but the light will continue to blink. I have shut the power off at the breaker and that did not work. I need help. The bad part about this is the dishwasher is not that old.
The dishwasher wouldn't wash the dishes; we found out that water wasn't pouring in despite the water line into the dishwasher working fine. The solution to press the "Sani Rinse" button worked -- after pressing it on and off, I ran a washing cycle and finally heard that familiar water filling sound. Thanks!

I had the same problem with the Quiet Partner III model. I tried the solution for the Quiet Partner II model to press the sanitize and heated dry alternately and it fixed the problem perfectly.
Same problem with cleaning button continually blinking. Hitting Sani-Rinse and Heated Dry back a forth a few times reset all the lights. THANK YOU and so easy!
I have the same problem. I think it is related to the tab that inserts itself into the door when it closes. Took the whole thing apart and everything was working but still got the blinking clean light and it won't start the wash cycle.
Clean light blinks now for three days. Cannot use the dishwasher at all. Tried the tips on pushing back and forth the high temp wash, sani rinse and heated dry to no avail. Frustrated and my wife is even more frustrated. How do we reset this thing?
press back and forth between hi-tempwash and sani rinse several times to get all lights to come on if not then press sani rinse and heated dry back and forth several times. one of though combos will start the test mode. the test mode will stop the light from blinking and you can use the dishwasher again

CLEAN LIGHT blinking repeatedly. Pushed, alternatingly...HEATED DRY + HI TEMP buttons over and over. Waited for the lights to go through their sequence 2 minutes...and FIXED. Thank you. Got tired of waiting for the repairman to come. He cancelled 2Xs on us already.

I had the identical problem with the blinking clean light on the Quiet Partner™ II System. What a pain in the rear!
Clicking Sanitize and Heated Dry button back and forth made the system reset itself out of the funk it was in. Thank you for this remarkably helpful post!
The real question here is this... Why is this happening? I bet it is built in to the system to generate extra revenue for Whirl Pool service calls.
If someone is pissed off enough and has no life, maybe they can begin a class action lawsuit against Whirlpool. Anti Trust or something like that?

My dishwasher was purchased and installed in July/August 2005. It will not work at all. The clean light keeps blinking, specifically in blinks cyclically 7 times then 2 times and repeats again. We tried opening and closing the door several times and it will not cancel. We turned off the breaker and it still will not work.
I had the same problem. This fix worked only in that it reset it so that it would go back to the beginning of the cycle again, but the heating element was obviously gone as the dishes were not hot when the cycle was finished. I guess I'll have to replace the heating element! My dishwasher is only 2 years old!
