Whirlpool dishwasher not working (by 5 users)

I have the exact problem as ronmac had:

"My Whirlpool Gold displays a "2" when "Cancel" is pressed. The unit then goes into a 2-minute drain cycle at which time the 2 disappears. The only response that I can get from the washer is to press Cancel, at which point the unit again goes into the 2-minute drain cycle. No other cycles light up when pressed. Any suggestions?"

My only difference is the "air dry" light will come on if pressed also.

This happened once before and it asked for rinse fluid. I gave it some and it worked fine ever since. Today I had the same problem without the rinse fluid light. I added some anyway, but no change. HELP

I am having same problem and dont know what to do. It is about 3 years old. How do I can reset the sytem back

Same issue as igsanders
I had just swapped my disher and had to hard wire it- had worked fine 6 washes ago then all of a sudden this 'blinking' clean light flashes- I to had also 'rebooted' to see if it would self-set- nope!- so I followed your instruction and 'BAM' - works! so thx for the info and saving me $$$
