That's an easy fix. This means either your controller hasn't been registered to your system yet, or it needs registered again. When you turn on your PS3 from the console and get to your main screen, press the big PS button in the center to get the lights flashing, then flip it over to the back and push in the little pin hole with a pencil or toothpick, give it a second, and it should register to your system.

Good luck and if i've helped to solve your problem, please give me a 4 thumbs up!

Clean light blinks on whirlpool dishwasher won't run

If you aren't sure whether Control Lock is on, press a cycle button on the keypad. If Control Lock is on, the light will blink three times.
Turning off Control Lock:
  1. Press and hold the Lock Button for four seconds. The lock light will disappear.
  2. Once off, you should be able to start your wash cycle.
Note: If Sleep Mode is on, turn that off first, then turn off Control Lock.


Like many other electronics, you may need to reset the dishwasher control panel by turning it off, waiting, then turning it back on.
  1. Press the OFF button.
  2. Disconnect the dishwasher from its power source by unplugging it or by turning the circuit breaker off at the electric panel.
  3. Once disconnected, wait one minute, and turn the power back on.

Green light flashes 9 times will not go

Hi. Different brands of controllers give different fault codes.If this is a dynamic controller, 9 flashes is the code for a faulty controller. This does not always mean that the controller is actually at fault.
It could be a burn't out brake solenoid, that now has a different resistance through the solenoid coil.
You mention the middle speed green light is flashing, normally on dynamic controllers, it is the most left battery level LED that flashes. You might have a different controller.
Have a look under the panels and let us know what controller your machine has.
You could try the agents, and see if they can tell you what the problem is.
Good luck. Neil.

Mpv 4 lights flash on control and charger indicates fully charged but cannot get it to go.

I think this chair uses the VSI joystick controller, and those flash codes are located here: http://www.pgdt.com/scenter/diagnostics/diagvsi.html
