Blinking Clean and Rinse lights on Maytag PD8460AWN

I start my dishwasher, it fills with water, gets quiet for a bit then the CLEAN light and RINSE ONLY button start blinking. Gave up trying to figure it out.

My Maytag PDB4600AWN quit working with a flashing CLEAN light and RINSE only button. I took off the bottom panel and took out the electrical diagram.

I ran the diag test, tried pulling power, and a series of other ideas just to see if the error always pointed to the same thing and it did. It's the motor pump. My Maytag is 10 years old. Not sure what yhe life span of such things are. My Mom had a Kenore dishwasher that ran 17 years. Don't think that happens anymore. I bought my Maytag laundry washer and dryer at the same time as my dishwasher and they have trouble now also. Guess those TV commercials were a little on the iffy side of truth. Hee heeeeeeeeeeeee. :)

I think I'll just buy a new dishwasher. The repair guys bill will be high enough that I may as well
buy a new dishwasher.

Cheers

My bellini dishwasher rinse Ais is on and water supply light blinks same time?

When the water supply light blinks and the rinse aid light is on in a Bellini dishwasher, it indicates that the dishwasher is not receiving enough water or the water supply is interrupted. Here are a few things you can try to resolve the issue:
  1. Check the water supply: Make sure the water supply valve is turned on and water is flowing properly to the dishwasher.
  2. Check the water inlet valve: The water inlet valve is responsible for controlling the water flow into the dishwasher. If it is faulty, the dishwasher may not be getting enough water. You can check the valve with a multimeter to see if it is working properly.
  3. Check the water pressure: Low water pressure can also cause this issue. Make sure the water pressure is at least 20 psi.
  4. Clean the inlet filter: The inlet filter could be clogged and preventing water from entering the dishwasher. Clean the filter and see if it helps.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to call a technician to diagnose and fix the problem.

Buttons on the dishwasher's control panel is not working. When starting a "normal" load, it switches to "clean" and does not start the wash.

Hello. Most likely, the humming sound you hear is a jammed drain pump which is activated immediately to pump out any stale or standing water below the level which you can see. Then, fresh, hot water enters the tub to start washing the dishes. I need the model number and exactly what lights are blinking--those blinking lights are error codes(combinations of 2 or more lights, one light blinking a certain number of times, then blinking again, a different number of times--ex 3 times, then 7 times) the lights blink a binary error code--thats why I need the model number to look up the code on the chart

Dishwasher doesnt drain on wash cycle,ok on rinse cycle

Change the circuit board, timer/progrsmer.
Take it out and clean contacts,
Look for burnt circuit line and solder a fine bead carefully on the circuit board, difficult. Use the pot and pan program.

"clean" light is blinking

Check the following:
1. Is the overfill protection float able to move up and down
freely? Press down to release.
2. Be sure the water supply is turned on to the dishwasher.

3. Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are
detected by the dishwasher sensing system, the
dishwasher may not operate properly or may not fill with
water.
Suds can come from:
1. Using the incorrect type of detergent, such as
laundry detergent, hand soap, or dish detergent for
hand washing dishes.
2. Forgetting to replace the rinse aid dispenser cap
after filling (or refilling) the rinse aid, or spilling rinse aid into the tub (rinse aid causes suds to occur).
3. Using an excessive amount of dishwasher detergent.

I had the same problem with my Maytag Quiet Series 1 dishwasher until I read the comment left by the guest on June 1, 2008. I tried his suggestion about the rinse cap adjustment and WOW it WORKED. No more growling noise. Thanks you saved me a service call.

Whirlpool gold- quiet partner III

An angel of mercy on another blog posted this solution and it worked for me as well. My Whirlpool Quiet Partner Dishwasher would not work due to the CLEAN light flashing in 7 interval sequences. I followed these steps and my dishwasher is not working perfectly...hope it works for you:

"Well for mine which is a Whirlpool Gold Model # GU2400XTPS3, I found the seq of buttons that I had to push to reset the curcuit board. I think it may of been in this forum somewhere. But I had to push - Sani Rinse, Heated Dry, Sani Rinse, Heated Dry, and then the dishwasher went through it's diagnostic cycle and then after that the light stopped blinking and the dishwasher works great. Supposily, there is a Product Tech Sheet behide the kick panel of every dishwasher, but mine was gone so I had to find the information on the internet. You might want to do a serach for the correct seq of buttons you have to push to reset the curcuit board. If you know for sure that the heating element is bad, you will have to order one. "
