My dishwasher clean light is blinking 7 times and will not turn on and dishes are dirty. What does this mean? It will not start nor cancel. It will not start.
Hi
Thanks
for using FixYa. If the clean light flashes 7 times, pauses, then repeats...
When the dishwasher doesn't sense a water temperature increase, it stops
working and locks the functions (clean light flashes 7 times, all buttons are
non responsive). It does this as a safety in case the element is broken and
feeding electrical current into the water.
To resolve this you will have to reset the console. Do this by closing the door
and press these buttons in sequence...
-high temp wash
-heated dry
-high temp wash
-heated dry
...all the lights will turn on briefly and the machine will start a diagnostic
cycle. You can press cancel or let the diagnostic cyle finish (1-2
minutes).
You should now be able to run the dishwasher as normal.
If the issue returns, you could have a problem with the heating circuit (ie.
element, thermostat or wiring).
It rarely happens but it could also be the door switch not engaging properly
when the door is closed (slightly bend the door latch down making sure it
doesn't hit the door when you close it).
Please
do rate the solution and revert for further assistance.
Thanks
