Clean light blinks on whirlpool dishwasher won't run

If your Whirlpool dishwasher does NOT have a digital display, the clean Light will flash the function code then the clean Light will pause for 2 seconds and then will flash the problem code. You need to count the number of times the clean light flashes to find out the error code on your Whirlpool dishwasher. As an example: If the clean light flashes 5 times followed by 2 flashes (5-2) then this error is showing the function code = “Door issue” and the problem code is “The door switch is in question”. The flashing light patterns repeat again after a 5 second pause. NOTE: The control panel console is fully non-functional when an error code is flashing.

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.

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.
