Whirlpool clean light flashes 7 times

Whirlpool model GU2500XTPQ6 has the clean led flashing 7 times and will not run. Is there something that I can check before calling out the expensive repair man? Unit is 18 months old. Thanks Scott

    We have the same problem. The one solution suggested here did not work so we're still looking for help...

    Same problem and will now not start up again? I had just used the Glass Xpress option and then this problem began?



    Thanks,

    Same Problem after 7 days away on vacation!! Clean light blinks 7 times. Using the key sequence below cleared the error and allowed normal wash cycles to resume. Hope the problem does not come back. This unit is about 3.5 years Old and has never had another problem. Why doesn't the troubleshouting section of the manual simply say to do this ? Instead it says you have to call for service!!

    Thanks Eric.

    I have the same blinking clean light problem and am running the diagnostic now using the HEATED DRY, NORMAL, HEATED DRY, NORMAL mentioned above.

    Will this yield an error code and if so, where can I find what it means?

    I have the 7 time blinking clean light problem. After entering the code to clear I saw a d1 code. The washer started working again but I dont know if the problem will reoccure. What does the code mean? Will the problem return on the first run cycle?

Actually, the button order to put it in a diagnostic cycle and clear the blinking clean light on the gu2500 is HEATED DRY, NORMAL, HEATED DRY, NORMAL not the other way around as Iden had posted.

We have the same problem, I found this on the net. press normal, heat dry, normal, heat dry. This will run it through a cycle and stop the light. It still is doing it on a regular basis, but at least I can clear it and keep using it.

The problem the first time this happened was that the control panel was fried and needed to be replaced. The second time this happened (yup, twice!) was that the switches when the door closed were not connecting properly and both had to be replaced.

No sign of life to our 5 year old D/W except flashing "CLEAN" L.E.D.
7-1 heating circuit problem control programmed to shut down machine when no rise in water temp during heat cycle, you either have an open heating element or wire burnt a shorted thermistor or a bad control not outputing 120VAC to the heater you can reset the control by placing the machine into diagnostic hit cancel button to turn off all the lights press heated dry-normal, heated dry- normal within 6 seconds lights should come on press cancel unit should start it will run till same part of cycle reached and lock out again if it has not been removed the little black panel below the door remove should have the tech sheet in a plastic pouch which explains how to check the components mentioned earlier,

My Whirlpool DU1145XTP won't turn on. Clean light
Check the themistor in the control panel. Radio Shack sells these for about $1.30 each. I replaced the one in my dishwasher three years ago and have had no issues since.

Clean light flashing 7 times.
Hi,

This machine was made by Whirlpool and the flashing clean light is a common error code for them.
If the clean light is the one flashing then your dishawasher could have a heater circuit problem (depending on the age) or this could simply just be water colder than it is used to getting.
Repeatedly press the Heated Dry and Hi-Temp Wash(scrub) which ever yours has untill all the LED lights come on, press cancel twice and try the dishwasher again making sure to run the water at the kitchen sink till it is hot before starting the dishwasher, if this trips and locks you have a problem with the heating element, or temp sensor.
Press the heated dry button followed by the normal cycle button, and then repeat once. You should see all of the lights come on for a second or two, and then the dishwasher will work again.
If you haven't already, take a look under the kick plate in front to see if there is a schematic tucked in there somewhere. Whirlpool has put their diagnostics for specific models on these.
I don't have the specific repair manual for you model.
So, if the above combination does not work here are two more that have worked for me.
HiTemp Wash + Air Dry + HiTemp Wash + Air Dry in less than 5 sec
or
Hi Temp Scrub/Scour + Air Dry + Hi Temp Scrub/Scour + Air Dry in less than 5 sec


Let me know, if you need further assistance.


Hope i helped you.


Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!
