Thanks for your help. My dishwasher did the same thing today -- green lock light came on and I couldn't get it to run. I checked the bottom of the tank and I had some glass lodged in the drain. Cleaned it out and held the button down for 5 seconds and now it runs again.

I solved my problem by disconnecting from the power source and then reconnecting, apparently it needed to be reset, it now works fine!

I had this problem also. Try holding down the button that the "lock" is near for a few seconds. I believe that the lock turns on when there is a large object obstructing the water flow or propellor. When I cleared the pathway (a glass broke and there was a shard still on the bottom) and held down the button, it turned off and I was able to start another cycle.

The light on the pad lock icon is on and i can't do anything with the dishwasher

The lock feature is there to keep little fingers from turning on the dishwasher. Usually if you push and hold the lock button for 3 seconds the light will go out and the feature will deactivate.

Dishwasher wont run after pressing START ... green light blinks

NOT TOTALLY SURE ABOUT THIS MODEL, BUT IS THERE A "LOCK" BUTTON ON THE PANEL? ON SOME MODELS YOU NEED TO PRESS IT TWICE TO ENGAGE START. HOW OLD IS THE UNIT? HAVE SEEN THE INTERNAL TIMER RELAY MALFUNCTION ALSO AND IT WILL NOT ALLOW DISHWASHER TO START CYCLES. HOPE THIS HELPS

Frigidaire Dishwasher Energy Star blinking lights.

Hmmm...don't know why this worked, but it did. When the lights were flashing when I tried to start my Frigidaire dishwasher model#FDB1500LF, nothing would happen...just blinking lights, so I went to the house electrical panel, found the switch for the dishwasher, turned off & on again, and now the dishwasher works.
Go figure.
