Lights flash but wont start

This dishwasher is less than 6 mo. old, has been operating fine but just started this problem. The door is shut properly, has power, water, all else appears as should be, but will not power up, only light flashing above "normal wash" when selected, and then light flashes beside "washing"(and beside "normal wash") when "start" is selected, but nothing else happens.

    I pulled the built in dish washer out to replace gasket on top..........was working fine and now all lights are flashing. I unplugged it and then when I plugged in again everything looks the same except when I go to push start the Washing button now just flashes.

    I feel like big hammer might work.......snicker snicker....any suggestions?

    lights flash on dishwasher frigidaire brand but wont start

  • Anonymous May 09, 2009

    My problem is basically the same but the Normal Wash light is the only one to flash. If you push start the cancel light will illuminate but once you let go the Normal light is the only one to flash. We had run the dishwasher the day before and it operated normally. Does anyone have an answer?

Sounds like the pump has gone and cant circlate the water. Raise it up and if the water can siphon out, then the pump is a goner.

If the dishwasher is still under warranty, best thing will be to conntact for manufacturer service !! The problem you describe could be cause off : * A Defective switch level that doesn't "shows" that there is enough water in the dishwather and therefore will prevent program's advance. * A defective heater- If water will not reach need temperature it will prevent program's advance as well. * Defective timer - Dishwasher's heart. In case your washer is over its warranty period and you would like to solve your problem by yourself, let me know and I will instruct you step by step how to to find the defective part and how to fix it. Good luck !

Dishwasher lights flashing or blinking. The heating element heats up the water to operating temperature. If the water doesn't reach the proper temperature after a set amount of time, a light on the control panel might start flashing. ...

following keys, in order, in less than 6 seconds, while in standby(power on but unit off):
Heated Dry, Normal, Heated Dry, Normal
To Rapid advance one interval at a time, press the Start key, noting that
unlike Standard cycles, the Diagnostics Cycle automatically resumes

Blinking lights on frigidaire dishwasher

Hello - Try resetting the dishwasher by disconnecting the power to the unit. This will clear most flashing lights. You can disconnect power by flipping the circuit house breaker off and back on for approximately two minutes. If this does not prove to be successful, contact a professional to move forward accurately. Dishwasher could possibly have a faulty control board or wiring failure.

Kenmore Elite Dishwasher starts to fill, then stops

My best guess is the door latch or door latch switch is not working properly. Once the unit is full of water try holding the door shut tightly if the unit runs by doing this check the top rack and make sure it is completely seated to the back. I have found a knife or fork tangled in the top rack and letting it seat, also the alignment of the water line for the top rack. If it does not run with what I have suggested, it will be time to start checking the mainboard operation.
I hope this helps

Wont start

The lights flash when the door is not shut all the way, or the sensor that detects that the door is shut is not sensing the door is shut. Try pushing in on the door while hitting the start button.
