Although you might not still need the info, I still post my findings which might help others.
I had the same issue as you described, I found that the 4.7uf 400v electrolytic cap on the control pcb (c31)has failed, it holds only little of its capacitance and esr has gone up crazy high about 150ohm, simply replace it with same value (pay attention to polarity)and it works as new.
Btw the other 3 brown colour caps are very high quality elna brand ones, they measured good as new, the one(light blue) failed is random unknown brand, no surprise.

    Ben you are a genius ?? I had all lights flashing on my DX302 Electrolux Dishlex which is now pushing 13yrs old. I replaced the c31 capacitor with a new 4.7?F 430V capacitor, plugged all the wires back in, screwed the door back together, plugged it back in and I'm back in business!! Couldn't have done it without your advice!! Thank YOU!! ??

It has to do with the water temperture, either the water entering the dishwasher is too cold and the heater can't get it up to temp, or the heater unit has problems... Push the Air dry ,then the sani wash buttons a few times and all the lights will light, it resets the computer .

Remove the toe kick by loosening 2 screws. There is a panel there with little lights that correspond to specific problems. The light that is on will correspond to the problem that the dishwasher has detected. Correct the problem and you should be good to go. I have no idea why this is not in the instruction manual. A common one is that there us a leak that the dishwasher has detected, normally in the drain pipe.

Remove the kickplate at the bottom of your dishwasher and see what error you are getting. Likely a leak error.Dishwasher likely has leaked into drip pan underneath. Unfortunately, you need to remove dishwasher and flip onto back and remove 3 phillips screws that hold drip pan in place. Install "leak kit" to correct leak problem with this model of dishwasher. Part number is 154769101

Dx 302 wont dry dishes

The model you specified is unknown to me and I'll try to explain how drying works generally in the dishwasher.
Dishes absorbs heat and cools more slowly than a very thin wall of stainless steel.
The consequence is that water evaporates and in accordance with the Mollier diagram begins to condense on the walls of the stainless steel whose temperature is lower due to faster cooling of the dishes.
Now drying can be divided into two categories. Active and passive.
Passive way of drying the natural circulation of moist air and condensation in the condenser, which is usually located on the left or right side of the dishwasher.
Active way of drying works on the principle of forced circulation humid air with fun helping quickly condenses and thus speeds up the drying of dishes.
In passive mode the drying process can speed up the partial opening of the door.

Dishlex 302 leaks from underneath

Good Morning Friend,

This appears to be a UK Electrolux dishwasher; however, if you have a US Electrolux model, here are a few tips you can attempt to troubleshoot the issue: First, Use only fresh detergent designed for automatic dishwashers. Measure detergent carefully. Possibly try a different brand of detergent. Secondly, spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to overflowing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth. Lastly, check to see if your dishwasher is level. If your dishwasher is still leaking, after trying the above solutions, I suggest contacting the manufacturer for further assistance. Hope this is helpful.

-Best regards-

Electrolux dishwasher not completing wash cycle and all lights flashing on door control panel and the 'wash pump' error light behind the lower kick space panel was flashing.

Good Morning friend, thanks for your post!

After researching the issue you are having with your Electrolux dishwasher it is possible that resetting your appliance may help. I would disconnect power from your dishwasher by unplugging it or flipping the household breaker for roughly ten minutes. If this does not resolve your issue I would recommend seeking assistance from a professional to properly diagnose and repair your dishwasher. -T

Lights flashing and dishwasher will not start

Take the kick plate off the bottom. It should tell you on a display on the bottom what is wrong. Resort to manual.

I have an electrolux dishwasher model #=EIDW6105gS0. All lights are flashing on the console and will not let me select any of the modes...will not run at all. Is there any way to reset? I have tried...

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in replying to you, but there has been a technical fault and we have not been able to answer your question.

The 6105G does not have a numeric display, so all of the LEDs flash when a fault is detected, but this does not indicate which fault has been detected. Resetting the dishwasher should clear the error message, but if there is a fault, the flashing LEDs will return after resetting the washer and further investigation will be needed to determine the cause of the fault.

You should be able to reset the dishwasher by entering the engineering test mode and then cancelling it:

1. Switch off the main power to the dishwasher or reset the breaker.
2. Switch the power on again.
3. Press SANITIZE and DELAY START simultaneously.
4. Press the START/CANCEL button to exit
5. Reset the power again.

Please try the above, then let me know if you the error persists and you need further assistance. You can reply to me by clicking on "Add a Comment" below your question.

Regards,
BElectric
