Question about Dishwashers
See this causes and fix it. God bless you
Thermal Fuse
If the dishwasher won't start the thermal
fuse might have blown. The thermal fuse helps to prevent damage to the
dishwasher by turning off power so that it doesn't overheat. Once blown,
the thermal fuse will have to be replaced for the dishwasher to work.
Door Switch
The door switch, or switches, are sometimes
called interlock switches. The door switch prevents the dishwasher from
running while the door is open. If the dishwasher won't start, the
switch or switches might be defective. To access the door switches,
remove the control panel or inside door panel - depending on the model.
They can be tested for continuity.
Main Control Board
The main control board provides power to
nearly every component of the dishwasher. If the dishwasher won't start
the main control board might be defective. YOU should first check for
more common parts. Many times control boards are replaced unnecessarily
because the problem was not diagnosed properly.
Touchpad and Control Panel
If the touchpad is defective, the control
board might not get the signal for the selections made. If the
dishwasher won't start and the display doesn't seem to change properly
when the buttons are pressed, the touchpad might need to be replaced. On
some models the touchpad and control panel are sold together and will
need to be replaced at the same time.
Touchpad
If the touchpad is defective, the control
board might not get the signal for the selections made. If the
dishwasher won't start and the display doesn't seem to change properly
when the buttons are pressed, the touchpad might need to be replaced.
Timer
The timer allows power to flow to the proper
parts at the proper times. If the dishwasher won't start, the timer
might be defective. Keep in mind that timers are often misdiagnosed as
the cause of a problem. Check other components first before replacing
the timer.

Open your console and check the continuity of the thermal fuse (clipped to the electronic control unit [ECU]).
Post your model number if you're still having problems and I'll try to assist you further.
Good luck!

disassemble front door to get to the latch. Check if the latch is properly in place, sometimes the metal cylinder that hold it in place, slips out of position.

SOURCE: clean light is flashing
This can be a common issue with some Whirlpool manufactured dishwashers. This information may help in your situation. The following link explains how you may be able to clear the blinking clean light problem:

Now, keep in mind all dish washers are not alike and have different panel options. If you do not have the same set up that I have mentioned, the tech sheet for your dishwasher will explain the touch pad functions. The tech sheet is located behind the lower toe panel under the door and lists the proper sequence of buttons to push for diagnostics and troubleshooting.
NOTE: Sometimes the tech sheet is located behind the inner door panel. You will need to remove the screws securing the inner panel to access it if this is the case. Make sure you turn off the main power breaker before doing so.
Sometimes this can be a momentary glitch in operation. However, if the problem keeps reoccuring the number of flashes is an indication of which circuit is causing your problem. Again, refer to your tech sheet to determine this.
If you have any questions, please let me know. I hope this helps you solve your problem.
