My model MDB7100AWW had a door switch problem (palmetto bug got inside). I removed the bug and got it working for two weeks. It died again, so I figured the switch was misaligned fom my previous work. Got it to turn on, but now I'm getting two flashing lights: Heavy Wash, and Clean. Removed power for a few hours, but it didn't help.
I have the same problem with the lights flashing on the control panel. It pops up every 4 or 5 months. The only solution I have found is to press the delay/resume button one time then press the drain/off button twice. You may have to hold the keys down for a couple of seconds. This seems to reset something in the panel. Make sure you haven't pressed the 3 second lock button or it won't work.
Thanks for your solution! It worked exactly as you said!

Same DW...closed the door this morning and all the lights started flashing...note that we had the DW serviced under recall about 6 months ago for problem related to rinse agents corroding wires...
Anyone have a solution?
I had the same problem with the lights flashing on the control panel. It has been occurring periodically over the past year. I would press the Delay/Resume button until it stopped. Now the '3 second' button has lit up by itself locking the panel. I can turn it off by flipping the breaker but after a couple of minutes, it comes back on by itself. We had the recall repair done on this machine about a year ago. Not sure if any of this is related but DW still not working.
Closed the door this morning and 3 lights were flashing. Tried pushing some buttons but that didn't work. Turned breaker power off and on but lights continued flashing. I pushed Delay/Resume and lights went out and motor ran for 5 seconds and lights started flashing again. Pushed Drain/Off and lights went out. Pushed Normal wash and it started worked.
Crossing my fingers, legs and eyes it keeps working.
Flashing Lights on Dishwasher and dishwasher won't run.
Thank you Jadey1. Pressing the delay/resume button one time then pressing the drain/off button twice cleared the flashing lights on the dishwasher and it is running again.
