Dishwasher is locked out. Clean light flashes 7
Hi
Thanks
for using FixYa. If the clean light flashes 7 times, pauses, and 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 cycle 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 (i.e. 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 if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further
assistance.
Thanks
