I have a whirlpool gold quiet partner III Black dishwasher. All of a sudden it stopped working. I push the accusense button and start the cycle for washing, it looks like everything is working normally, I can see the time display indicating how long it would take to clean the dishes, and nothing else. The timer keeps working but nothing happens inside. When i cancel it, the clean light blinks 7 times and pauses and repeats. I did reset the cycle and the blinking "clean" light stops blinking. I try to start the dish washer again, same story. I get a little water in the unit, about an inch or so deep and nothing happens. Cant afford to purchase a replacement dishwasher. Please help!

Hi

If clean light is blinking then it may be an issue with heater circuit, door switch or wash pump, please reset the power to the dishwasher. After, 5 minutes check if you are still getting the same error. If yes, then it is a water heating fault. To resolve this error try pressing this reset sequence-- Heat Dry - Normal - Heat Dry - Normal or High Temp - Air Dry - High Temp - Air Dry or Hi Temp Scrub, energy saver dry, Hi Temp Scrub, energy saver dry or High Temp Wash-Heated Dry-High Temp Wash-Heated Dry . Now let the unit run for 2-3 minutes and then you press the Cancel/Drain button and allow it to completely drain and reset. If this doesn't work then it's an issue with the wash pump not pumping the water past the heater efficiently or due to lack of water to heat. Please make sure that heater is not open circuited and is heating the water efficiently. You'll have to check the heater using a multimeter; the meter should read between 3000 to 3300 ohms (Use multimeter on Rx1 ohm setting). If heater is fine then make sure water pressure is optimum and fill valve is working fine. Hope this helps... Please post back if you need more information.
