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.

Hi
Thanks for using FixYa. That means the control sensed that the heater in
the D/W did not operate 3 times in a row. So the unit locks out. First remove
the kick plate and you may have to pull the unit out from under the cab, but
check your heater. Use a meter to see if it reads open; if so orders a heater
assay it will come with a new control replace it too. If heater checks good
then press in sequence normal wash, heat dry, normal wash, heat dry, normal
wash, heat dry three times within 6 sec and all the lights will come on then
hit cancel. What that did is reset the control and clear that fault. Keep in
mind that D/W does not heat its own water and incoming water temp should be
120. The D/W will maintain that temp. When starting your D/W first turn on your
hot water till it gets hot then start your D/W this ensures your unit fills
with hot water and not cold
Please do rate the solution and revert for further
assistance.
Thanks
